Today's joy: wearing my yellow hoodie despite it making me look like I've got hepatitis. Also, the guy on tiktok who admitted that he mispronounced 'hepatitis' as 'heppa-titties'.

Today's complaint(s): I'm still sick (it's been 9 days), my little old lady cat died (4 days ago), I'm exhausted, today is the first day of my vacation, and I'm really just not having a good time.

Today's joy: omelettes. Specifically, my kid's frequent bragging about his omelette-making skills, and his delight at unexpectedly being asked to make them today, on-demand, for patrons of the buffet at the hotel where he works. Omelettes. Yes. Omelettes.

Today's joy: a tin of 'holiday' cookies from Costco that I have slowly been eating - but only the good ones, leaving behind the biscuits I don't enjoy, because I'm a grown adult who can do whatever she wants.

Today's joy: the library. I've been a steady patron since I was a very small child - and, all these years later, libraries still amaze me. My local library system is phenomenal.

Got my flu vax and my covid booster today. Got a cootie shot from my friend (who went with me to get his vax too) even though I'm single and the evidence on that vaccine is dubious at best. I'll take whatever modern medicine has for me.

Pretty sure this place is the reason I have the ELO song stuck in my head. It's a nice distraction from the ongoing existential crisis, at least.
