Wednesday Night Open Thread: Notes from the Infirmary

As many of you know, the coup de grace of my horrible, terrible, no good birthday week was contracting a case of COVID (spotted via a very, very faint T line on the rapid test and confirmed by PCR). Since Monday evening I’ve been cooped up in our guest room, mostly feeling sorry for myself and trying to avoid passing this nastiness on to the Dr. Mrs. Deadly, Esq. (ret). I’ve been successful so far, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that things stay this way.

Aside from COVID, however, things have started to look up from my birthday week. My recovery isn’t as rapid as I’d like – this will be my third consecutive night with a splitting headache (of the non-hangover variety, which are the absolute worst) – and shitty things are still happening (got a nice new pattern of cracks in my phone screen after it fell off the bed) but in general I’m on the mend.

I had the pleasure of tuning in to a Celtics game they were winning by 20 to watch them promptly blow that lead and fall behind by 13 late in the fourth quarter. But then…

The Celtics would go on to win the game in overtime. And then just an hour ago I realized that Event 15 of the Marble League – Collision, an event where my beloved Team Galactic had always struggled – was live.

So things have been looking up, at least in the short term.

RIP tWitch of SYTYCD. He was an incredible dancer and by all reports a great dude.

I’ll be turning in early tonight, but don’t let that stop you from having at it in the comments. Stay healthy, my friends.
