Anything involving deadlines, chores, errands, or productivity has been placed in a highly secure folder labeled “Not Today.” If someone asks whether I’m available, the answer depends entirely on how much effort it takes to answer. Current achievements include staying comfortable, avoiding unnecessary movement, and maintaining inactivity.
