Our apartment is in absolute quarantine, and I'm really hoping I feel better in time for tomorrow so I can see some relatives of mine who I haven't seen in about seven years.

Can't hug them, of course...grumble, grumble, illness, grumble...

Wish me luck recovering, readers. I think you can understand why I'm not exactly introspective at the moment, so have a great night and a great weekend.
