My fitbit has started yelling at me "RECOVERY NEEDS REST DAYS!" and like....I know babe but life decided not to give me any of those this week.

Just remembered describing an edge-case in a meeting with the words "and I know that's a bit of a spiders georg scenario" to a load of extremely offline people senior to me, but with such confidence no one even blinked.
