One of the funnest things to do when you have long-term chronic fatigue is deciding which cause you want to assign to the debilitating effects. You'll never get it right - it's like trying to reverse engineer a really bland soup - but your sense of self requires you to make the effort. "What did I do that resulted in me feeling like this?" you ask yourself in an attempt to knit the actions of your past self to the present moment so you might at the minimum learn what to avoid next time.
And so yesterday I assumed it was my doing an hour of computer work that caused my evening malignancy. In hindsight, and following a night of sweating the bed, it was probably the side effects from the flu vaccination I'd had 24 hours previously. Or maybe it wasn't! Who knows! Not the doctors! And certainly not me.
Quiet day today in prep for a visit to work tomorrow. Don't want to cause any of those darned effects.

Music listening:
Reading:
- Zack Polanski - The right can mock my teeth all it wants – it shows the Greens have struck a nerve
- Four strange places to see London's Roman Wall
- Latesploitation: An examination of recent works by Gilbert Hernandez - Gilbert's 90s comics were transformative for me. Those from the last decade haven't been of great interest but I suspect they'll warrant a deeper retrospective in time. (I rarely if ever put NSFW on links, but I will here. Definitely NSFW.)
