I love thinking about the perception of time (can't help but write about it every few months or so). I don't think I've considered the human perception of time as much as I could, but it's really an important consideration. We are the lens through which we attempt to understand reality, and our own perception of what time is (right or wrong) has a strong bearing on what we make of what we experience.
Props to slothin' your way through things! Slow, steady, and persistent - that's the mantra. I'm learning Latin right now on DuoLingo, just like 3 minutes every day. Sure, I could learn in one year what I will learn in five at this pace, but who cares? I'm having fun and stimulating my brain a tiny bit each day, and that's enough for me for now.
This cancer journey is a time capsule for an individual life. I was nodding my head in affirmation to what you write, as an ex chef losing my taste buds and a 1/4 of my tongue makes it difficult to operate at a "normal " full time job kind of level. Saying that, I happily sit for hours writing, same but different. Now I tackle the ingredients a bit differently - I pull them apart only to put them back to create something I can swallow too.
Knowing the added effort it takes you to write this, I appreciate you sharing your journey with us all the more.

But do you know how to order a hamburger yet? My kids do thanks to a different podcast they listen to on the way to school.
I am fluent in Drive Thru.
