I lost the stability I had for the first ~50 days of the year, probably for these reasons: (1) Sleep disturbances caused partly by a nearby rooster. (2) Lapses in caution wrt exposure to America-related news/social content. (3) Reduced connection with Mexican society due to (a) my move away from the family I lived with previously, (b) completing the acquisition of basic necessities for this house, which involved repeated interaction with local merchants, and (c) reduced interaction with the new landlord after a week of gas- and water-related troubleshooting. (4) Gaining some free time after being thoroughly occupied for several months.
