I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage after avoiding it all weekend.
I want a gold star.
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.
It's awful.
we have not had that, but some springs we get beaucoup gnats.
Today is already horrifying and I want to take it back.
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!

Right? I'll murderize a dozen on the wall and then one just zooms up in my face.
These are friggin' magical for fruit flies. [link]
I got the Pfizer jab a week and change ago along with the flu jab. There was a bit of arm soreness, abut otherwise things seem fine.

Thanks, Trudy! I'll try it.
The Covid-19 vaccination I got Friday has been kicking my ass all weekend. I overslept yesterday and missed taking my mom on our usual Saturday morning walk in the park. (We tried after lunch, but the area we normally walk in was closed off for a bike race.) Then last night/today I slept 10 hours, and still have the sore arm at the injection site. I suppose I should be thankful for the clear indication that it's working.
YES. I got both flu and Pfizer on Saturday and CANNOT stay awake, even two days later. I almost never react to vaccines, so it was surprising. I came home from work today and slept 2.5 hours and could honestly fall asleep again right now.
I got both covid & flu this afternoon. There was a little girl, maybe 6 or 7, who was up for her shots, and she was NOT HAVING IT. Wailing like she was going to die, there in the lobby at Kaiser.
Eventually her mother basically strongarmed her into the chair and they got them done -- I dunno about her, but I barely felt the shots!
When I left she was headed right for the gumball machine there in the lobby. Smart placement, Kaiser!
In other news I ended up using AI to write my team's assessments today. We have to make sure they align with "mission needs" and "administration priorities", and I just didn't know that I could do that on my own.
... I feel dirty.
