About ten words written today, largely to not have a zero day -- I spent the day running around frantically between class, taking Problem Child to the shop, tutoring, family stuff, picking up Problem Child from the shop, going down to CVS to get a flu shot. (I'd have got the new covid booster too but my CVS texted yesterday to say they hadn't gotten it yet. want to know what makes this really ironic? so many people who work at the CDC live in my neighborhood, because, get this, the CDC is literally next door to my university. many CDC employees just take the university shuttles.) I am in...excruciating pain. Back pain, probably stress, this pops up occasionally. also I can't really lift my left arm, so there's a reason I scheduled this for a Friday.
