JZ, I'm so sorry -- what a sad way to die that is, from something so correctable and really quite minor. What a loss for everyone.
I'm on Day Three of a bad Cold, the kind I used to get all the time as a kid, where my sinuses block off the tear duct drainage so that I get watery eyes and sinus-headache from Hell. And none of the OTC drugs I have on hand seem to be doing much at all. Tonight it seems to be backing off a bit.
It does help that The Roommate has finally given me a check for the past two months, so even if I get back to driving Lyft tomorrow (dubious) it'll be a short week paywise, but I'll be able to make the mortgage and the homestead will be saved once again.

Oh, man, JZ. I hope he gets better soon and maybe tells you what's going on a little more in the future. NO MORE NASTY SURPRISES FOR JZ UNIVERSE
Glad to hear that, Theo!
Oh, JZ. I hope the hospital is able to get that under control quickly.
Oh man, JZ. Like you needed something else. Best thoughts to your dad!
All day, I felt like I had been peer pressured by the news elsewhere into wearing my puffy coat today, because it wasn't actually that cold. But then I had to walk home through a surprise blizzard! So that worked out. By blizzard, I mean probably not that much snow, but it was super windy.
We got the mini-blizzard in NYC, too: [link]
It's in the comparatively balmy high teens here, but when I came home for dinner the sodas in my refrigerator felt warmer than my hands.
And... my dad's in the hospital
Parents! Sending healing ~ma in his direction. I'm sorry that this has added to your stress.
For all your fluffy, feel-good, forget the rest of the world needs . . .
THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW!!!!

It's the same, but Canadian! And bowing to Pillsbury's North American copyright of the term Bake-Off.
