Home sick with a 100° fever.

Two rapid tests have come back negative, and I’m waiting on the PCR results.

Here's wishing you the flu, Tom? Get well soon, in any event.

Overall it was an enjoyable broadcast, a welcome return of Broadway. Though I was dismayed not to get my customary annual check-in on Angela Lansbury's health. Particularly since she was apparently awarded a lifetime achievement Tony in absentia but that wasn't broadcast. I hope she's okay.

I know nothing about A Strange Loop except the bits I saw of it during the show, but those seemed inferior to all its competitors in the Best Musical category. I get that the premise has an important message, but shouldn't the winner also be, y'know, good?

Ugh. That happened to me back in March. Turned out to be a 24-hour GI bug, not Covid or influenza, so yay?

Best wishes for yours being a non-event also, and that you feel better soon.

Stay hydrated.

Ditto on hoping it's a random, non-Covid, non-serious bug that's short-lived!

{{Scola}} I hope it passes quickly with no lingering effects!

'Flu~ma, Tom?

I had a weekend where I made stuff I'd been putting off for a while finally happen. I got the dryer vent cleaned out, which made a huge difference in clothes drying time. I cleaned mildew out of my dishwasher, took care of some unexpected family estate stuff (unexpected because the people involved have been dead for 12+ years), and today I booked my flight and car rental for my Labor Day trip to my sister's place. I'd been putting off the last one because I'm still trying to get a job in MI, but I'm coming to terms with the idea that that won't happen this summer. And I really needed to book before rising fuel prices made the tickets even more astronomical.

My dad called to tell me that if I was going to get him something for Father's Day, he has a list of books he would like that are about aliens who colonized the Earth long ago (to be clear, these AREN'T fiction books), so I could get him one of those books.

I figure it's harmless wingnuttery, so okay, he's getting books about aliens.

Way to go, Calli!

I feel like I was accomplished this weekend although all I did was go to the gym and the movie theater (and the mall in between movies - have I mentioned that we have a tattoo parlor at the mall now? And there was a coming soon sign for something with Axe in the name which I am hoping will be an ax throwing whatever you call those places), but it kept me in air conditioning on a hot day.

That does seem like a fairly benign channel for wingnuttery

Right? Might as well lean into it.
