I started and finished reading "A Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.

I thought the book was masterfully written. The book is relevant to our time and executed well. I didn't like some of the language and scenes which were, I feel, unnecessarily explicit but I can overlook that because it is written so well. The book might be triggering because it deals with a number of traumatic events and explicit scenes.

I started the book Thursday evening and finished it yesterday. I'm glad I started and finished the book since I have been curious about it for a while now.

I took a few days off from the gym and went back today for an intense workout. I got a yoga ball to use at home and am trying different exercises on the days I don't go to the gym.

I'm still feeling low and anxious. Sleep is still strange... broken up into several hours of sleep then awake and repeat the process throughout the night, but I'm getting by. I see my pdoc on the 25th.
