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 think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also shocking, he's both a terrible businessman and a giant crook.

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.

I'm a little surprised. I just heard an NPR interview with Dan Alexander of Forbes where he'd gone through Trump's assets vs. debts and came up with a $2.5 billion net worth figure. I'd assumed he was doing well, just by crooked means like refusing to pay vendor contracts and having loans from Russian oligarchs forgiven in return for political favors.
