I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dana, I totally want to medical-nerd out about this -- where did you read that he's getting an experimental treatment? (I'm going to end up down a rabbit hole that ends with leeches.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Both NPR and NYTimes have it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Teppy, most media is now reporting it. WaPo has a statement from his doc. It's the Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail.

Dana, never mind -- I forgot that I could google, so I see it's the Regeneron antibody therapy. Interesting.

The treatment the president received is an antibody cocktail developed by the biotech company Regeneron, according to a memo from his doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley. Mr. Trump is also taking vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, a daily aspirin and famotidine (an antacid better known as Pepcid), the memo said.

No leeches. Yet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently every room in my house is too small, and the door sills are all too high.

Oh yeah, I am lucky that I only have a high sill into the bathroom, so it can get around OK, more or less.

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.
