Let us begin with a reminder of things that may help you if you are neurodivergent, having low energy, or could otherwise use some tools in your belt for specific purposes: Goblin Tools.
The writer Celia Lake on the stages that a person may go through in coming to terms with and figuring out how disability, or a change in degree of disability, is impacting their lives. Which mentions important things like the fact that this is a process, and the workarounds involved are often contingent on things not changing, or not changing a lot, in the future.
Because the Olympic Games are being put on in a country with sensible socialized healthcare by an organization that believes at least nominally in the health of the participating athletes, many of the United States athletes are making sure they are up-to-date on their checkups and treatments, because the Olympic village is providing healthcare for free, rather than the expensive costs that those athletes would have to pay in the U.S. There's certainly enough wealth and money in the U.S. to pay for a proper and universal health care option for everyone, but oligarchs don't like it when you take away one of their levers of power.
Unfortunately, some of the health care that has to be sought from the athletes is treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infections, and one wonders whether that is also true for many of the spectators as well during the course of the events. There certainly weren't many people masked in the crowds, or who appeared to be trying to behave as if there were infectious diseases about.

Last for tonight, Google has been declared in violation of antitrust laws regarding the ways that it spent significant amounts of money on being the exclusive or default search engine in several devices and pieces of software. This should be interesting to see how Google has to change to avoid staying in the monopolist's position.
And try to get and keep fresh air in all of your spaces, even if you are at a workplace that believes SARS-CoV-2 is no longer an issue. There's still stagnant air causing problems for attention and our best work.
