The problem with living alone is that when you're spending the day sick in bed, you don't have anyone to cook chicken soup for you at 9PM on a Sunday Night.
I think I have everything I need to make some hot and sour soup broth. That'll hit the spot.
I'm now past the "sick as a dog" portion of the illness and in the "I'm blowing my nose and coughing and it's dang annoying" part of the illness.
Wow, I haven't been this sick since before Covid. I'm feeling better than I was last night, but wow...that was a horrifyingly stressful sleep....
My autocorrect changed "breakfast buffet" to "breakfast nuggets" and suddenly I'm very interested in what a breakfast nugget would be.
Discuss.
Woke up sick. So my day is running kinda slow. :/
Windstorms really affect my town all wierd. When we had that big Bomb Cyclone, with the worst winds in decades, nothing here in town (other than power outages).
Today, where the winds are up but "nothing like the bomb cyclone from last month" and there have been two wind gusts that have shaken the house, and the trees are getting a good shaking all day.
Playing Atari games with an Atari Joystick in VR is amazing. I even got a hand cramp playing it! Just like old times.
This is an entirely too new TV for playing 2600 games, though.

micro-fiction
"It's been happening since the accident," he said, sitting up in the psychiatrist's couch. "They said it was likely due to the head trauma, and it's frankly disturbing the hell out of me."
The doctor sat up in his seat, straightening his glasses. "These are the visual hallucinations you'd mentioned?"
"Exactly. It would be more understandable if they made more sense. What always happens is things turn into cheap chocolate candy, right before my eyes. Cars slither down the road like great tubular serpents, people bounce like great brown ribbons down the sidewalks. Hell, I was holding my newborn baby the other night and he became a squalling, squirming column of candy in my arms. I startled so bad I almost dropped him."
"So what you're saying is..."
"Whatever it is I think I see, becomes a Tootsie Roll to me."
"My God."

SPACE MYTHS:
The Fisher Space Pen did NOT cost NASA millions of dollars to develop.
It cost them $0. FISHER put in the R&D money on that.
NASA only bought the pens as off-the-shelf products. They are nice pens.
And while the Russians DID "use pencils", they didn't really like them, and adopted the pens.
See, inhaling graphite dust and wood shavings in freefall is not that healthy.
There are a LOT of stories about "government waste" that are basically just bullshit, like this one. Be aware.

One more piece of immersion for retrogaming both in Retroarch and EmuVR! Atari now makes a full on Wireless Atari Joystick, so as a "I Got The Job" present, I picked one up. And it works great, but even better, it comes with an adapter I can use on my 45+ year old Atari 2600!
My NES Controller does double duty as a TurboGrafx controller, and my Genesis one also acts as a controller for the 3DO. I just realized while packing I have a PSX Classic controller, which should work better for PS1 games than the DualShock, since it's missing the analog segment. I'd still use the PS2 controller for PS2 games.....
Fifty years on this planet, twenty six as a woman, I've never had a friendship bracelet. ❤
