Finished reading: Chants Democratic by Sean Wilentz ๐Excellent American labor history 1780-1850 book. But depressing because we’ve been fighting financial inequality with the same language for 200 years.

One more chart because to me itโs interesting how clearly Heart Rate Variability shows me getting sick and then recovering.
My trackers are telling me Iโm through my bout of COVID.
Day 6 of COVID
Iโve been in bed this whole time. It looks like maybe Iโm done with the fever, according to Apple Watch, so maybe I can start doing a bit more. Our weather is terrible, so itโs no problem to keep taking it easy.
