Whatever that thing is that’s going around, I have it. Hopefully my flu shot will keep things to a minimum.
UPDATE: I thought I was just middle-aged creaky when I got up, but it’s been a couple of hours now and my rib cage hurts in my back when I breathe. And I do breathe!
UPDATE: I just realized the back pain is from carrying my broken microwave out to the trash last night. Never mind!


A certain percentage of American society is prone to catching everything. (Hope you feel better soon, susie.) A certain percentage never catches anything. The concept of the survival of the fittest (Republican doctrine) states that the unfit should be eliminated in order to improve the general welfare of the group. That’s the real reason nobody should ever trust a Republican.
