Instead of learning to drive the bus when I was supposed to begin learning to drive the bus, I was caught by the kind of extremely powerful illness that sweeps previously contact-restricted populations when the operant restrictions are lifted. So, I've only gotten to drive Friday and yesterday, but it is worth noting that since I last posted, I have been behind the wheel of a school bus, a wholly unprecedented condition in my personal existence. Kinda cool. Pretty cool, I should say. I like driving, and driving is kind of like a video game, so it's kind of like learning a new video game. Most of the rest of the time, though, I was suffering under the yoke of a particularly miserable head cold, and that just sucked. Didn't even wanna write. Wondered if the negative forces of the universe had sent this illness into my body to prevent me from writing, which is the kind of thing I think about when I am running a low-grade fever. Being sick inflames my superstition and paranoia, as well as any number of tissues and membranes. 

Speaking of all that, judging by what I've been reading online, signs point to another brutal sweep of very bad illness, epidemic/pandemic style, on multiple fronts. Should...do my health insurance paperwork. Probably. Should...restock my supply of immune system supplements.

Welp! I'll try to generate something interesting next time, which will be soon, maybe this evening. That's all I could reasonably squeeze in between waking up, getting nutrition and coffee, and having to soon depart for more bus driving.

Peace!
