Glad you and your wife made it through safely, Frankie, and Wood Goblin. This time feels more intense than the first. The hacking cough is the worst. Also hot and cold. Temp starting to rise 100.3.

I had it once before too, and the first time was definitely milder. Since you’re up on your shots—I was only single boosted—it should be fairly quick. My temperature never rose above 101. Maybe take a Tylenol before bedtime.

The night sweats were fucking weird, though, because I wasn’t running a fever at that point. I’d fall asleep, then wake up twenty minutes later, soaked from head to toe yet not running a temperature.

Edited to add: hope you get through it quickly, Randall!

I feel like if I wasn't double vaxxed-boosted I'd be in serious dutch right now instead of climbing out of it.

Probably not gonna bother with local primary today. I usually do, but the machine got behind certain candidates pretty hard for this one (hardly the first time), and I'd vote for an actual potato over any conservatives in November. Civic duty fail..

My daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome last week, which explains much of the pain she’s been trying to tolerate. I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to podcasts and reading articles on the subject. I hate that she’s going to have to deal with this the rest of her life. Anyone know someone who has EDS?

I wonder if there should be a "parts of the song you actually remember" thread.

Like let's be real, all you can remember from Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer is "HWAUUUUGHHH!"

And all you can remember from that A Ha song is "blahdiblahblahdayortWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Someone on twitter said oil is abiotic so it gets generated automatically by the Earth and will never run out.

Another day in the world.

Today I learned there is a Def Leppard EP called "The Two Arm Years".

My youngest daughter started high school marching band this week and we just got back from the parent preview.

So proud of her! She’s a trumpet player and band dork just like her parents.
