My flu, rather than continuing to grow better, changed gears and became lousier today, such that I ended up spending most of the day in the house watching news shows online about our ailing government, which also became markedly lousier today with new revelations of crime and corruption and evasion and hush money and conspiracy--and oh, by the way, that's just the tip of the iceberg. There really seems no bottom to this mountain of shit. The one moment of relief in all this oppressive news was when one commentator envisioned a tragicomedy musical in the future featuring titles such as No Collusion, Truth is Not Truth, and Without Me Everyone Would be Very Poor.
I guess the good news would be that this farce does seem to be winding down--but then again, I thought it was winding down ever since before the election, so who can say?
To make things worse, the wrenching fits of coughing that have come with this flu have exacerbated the pain in my right neck and shoulder which had finally, after two years, begun to get so much better, for the coughing has required the excessive use of compromised muscles that have been at the center of the dysfunction from the outset.
Woe is me.
