Since coming home from Tokyo, work on gossip slowed down quite a bit. I had lost my groove.

I have some excuses or rather explanations. Partly I had cluster headaches (I don't get them as bad as online sources describe, but they definitely come in clusters, feel like stabbing my eye or near my eye, and make it hard to program). Partly I had trouble with jet lag. Partly I had lost my place, having not programmed for 6 days. Partly I was working on my relay. Partly the work needed next didn't seem like fun. Partly I didn't want to step on the toes of my UI team. Partly I felt a sense of urgency and being a rebel at heart I rebel against my own sense of urgency! Partly I felt overwhelmed with all the new information from the conference. Partly I felt overwhelmed with all the NIP changes. Partly I felt overwhelmed with other clients pushing out features far more rapidly than I do. Overall, I had lost my groove.

But I kept at it. Put in the hours. And luckily, over the last few days, somehow, I'm back in the groove. Back to being unable to type as fast enough.
