I haven't been around here lately, due to:


*Having COVID for most of October, and as a result, I may have lost some sense of smell.

* A lot of eye irritation, which has interfered with my writing and reading. Some improvement now.

*On-going plumbing issues in my bathroom (over 3 months), with water leaking from somewhere around the sink. Management is taking forever to replace sink.

*Bag stolen from my job just two weeks ago; still not sure how the person snuck into the back. It sucks in that while all of us at work were distributing meals and boxes of produce to our students, an asshole got in and stole my bag. There is a silver lining to this though; my bag was found a few days later in a campus dumpster almost intact, and not trashed. Items stolen: money ($15 and some change); a transit card, hand sanitizer, and my phone. I'm guessing since I'm such a 'nice lady' at work, whoever stole my shit felt bad when he/she realized who they nabbed. In any case, I had to get a new phone. Replaced a few cards, even though there was no bogus activity on any of them.

* My cat was great just two days ago; now, she's sluggish and not eating much. She's also responsible for a few of the puddles in the bathroom now, and I can't smell her pee. Granted she's 18 years old, but still... I don't want to lose her.

I almost forgot, but Christmas is in 2 days, and I really don't give a crap about it.
