Maybe RFK is having them add roadkill demi-glace to every batch?
Superpowers would be better.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage after avoiding it all weekend.

In other horrible house news, I am fighting a losing rearguard action against a fruit fly/sink fly invasion.
Yes, I'm putting degunking stuff down the pipes. Yes, I've got traps out. Yes I've put all of the produce in the fridge and cleaned out dead pants.

This too shall pass.
Many gold stars for the efforts! I'm sorry you have had to deal with the pesty pests for so long.

It's enraging to watch a fruit fly just blithely fly right past the fruit fly trap. Go to your demise, invader!
