I will give it another day then, and not jump straight to weird COVID symptoms.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Dana, I also got my shot on the 23rd and felt kind of not-quite-sick-but-not-right yesterday (chills, mostly, although your prickling description is apt) and not great today. I hadn't thought of the a reaction to the shot, but that could be it.
I'm lazing about sipping coffee in hopes that I will magically feel better soon, basically.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I usually feel kind of blah and have a low-grade fever (like hovering around 99.5) for at least three or four days after a flu shot, but my immune system is kind of a mess to begin with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'all, I am so tired of managing my mother's emotions. So. Tired.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Aw, Jesse, I'm sorry. That's hard. Is there something nice and low-effort you can do for yourself?

Eh, it's OK. I was thinking I would love to take a proper week off, but I'd just have to spend it with her! Oh well.

Jesse, can you find an Air BNB somewhere in western MA or Maine? You deserve some down time.
I had a very tasty lobster roll! And I bought some (more) wine. Now I have yard work to do but it's too hot out so I'm surfing Youtube and reading the NYTimes article on Trump's taxes -- they got 17 YEARS worth of taxes. It's shocking and appalling.
Because, get this, I know you'll be shocked, He's been lying about his money and he's actually horribly in debt.

Also shocking, he's both a terrible businessman and a giant crook.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Whaaaaat.

I don't drive! So I am kind of stuck, although obviously I could take public transportation and it might actually be worth it at this point.
