This past Wednesday, Patti and I got our second booster shots. On Thursday, I did yard work and was going to go out grocery shopping, but found my whole body was in pain and I just wanted to sit down. Admittedly, I sat down on the squishy couch so I got more and more tired. Patti came home about 5:30 pm and I took a nap until about 8:00 pm. I was up for a little bit, but went to sleep when Patti did. I took off the next day because I still hadn’t gone grocery shopping. It was the worst of my Covid-19 experiences. Not bad, considering other people’s experiences. I’d rather get illnesses from the vaccine instead of covid itself.
People say it is darkest before the dawn. This is probably just a comparison of the darkness of night to the early morning light. I feel like I’m in a dark time in my life, so maybe the dawn of new things is coming. Years ago, I used to rearrange my office to make a new start and clear my mind as I’m clearing the office. I don’t have the time or the space to do that anymore. I know I need to write, but I can’t help wanting to do other things. Perhaps I could gather some of my thoughts and other writings into a blog and record audio of me reading them for a podcast. I know from trying these things in the past they take much more time to do than the description indicates. I could also record video of me reading these articles on my teleprompter. Video takes even more time. I’ve recorded, edited, and posted things in the past that got very little traction. Wasting time seems like wasting my life. I know it’s not. I’m just being melodramatic. That’s what my cats are constantly telling me.
People usually piss me off on the freeway, but today was particularly bad for A-holes. Saturdays are usually one of the worst days for that kind of thing. There are people going places to relax, but pissing everyone off on their way there. I don’t believe in evil or hating other people. They do what they do because they are not happy with their lives. I definitely understand being unhappy, but I don’t take my misery out on others. I have to distract myself from the misery of others, so I don’t make myself even more miserable. The saying “misery loves company” is correct in that people spread their misery to others, but “love” is the wrong word. Misery infests other people like a virus. I don’t know if “misery infects others” is going to take off, though.

I think there’s some deal with May 1st, but I don’t know what it is. Okay, I’m back from looking it up. It’s May Day, but the US celebrates it on Labor Day in September. I’m at work right now so … I thought I could come up with something about laboring on May Day, but couldn’t. Patti is talking about feeling sick, but she is unwilling to call in sick tomorrow. It’s one of those Patti logic things I can’t talk her out of. That’s not stopping me from trying, though. In the end, she did her usual talking about something else to get me to drop the subject.
Ghost is my favorite word to type. I don’t know why. When I’m testing out a keyboard, it is the first word I type. When I type ghost, I think of the cartoon versions of ghosts. Most things I think of are cartoon versions of those things. Things that don’t exist are better in cartoon versions of them. I can watch the Hotel Transylvania movies because they’re animated. I never enjoyed realistic versions of vampires, werewolves, or dragons as much as animated versions. The more realistic they are, the more you can see their flaws and they just look silly.
