I'm absorbed with the task of reducing exposure, reducing interaction, reducing risk. No unnecessary communication, trips, visits, favors asked or granted. I took down a big 3' by 8' bookshelf that had been hanging in the front room, but termites had infested interstitial layers in the plywood and showered us and our belongings with their droppings. I know I need to exercise to keep from gaining weight again but everything hurts from all the work. I am a fugitive from my own madness.
