Monday had more rain than I was expecting, so we spent more time in bed than we might have. All the pets were more than happy to sleep the day away. I did try eating some oatmeal, but that didn’t stay down so I didn’t try anything else. That was followed by severe dizziness again, and that stuck around far longer than it should. I don’t know if that’s from dehydration (yes, I’m drinking water), COVID leftovers, or the Chemo. I’m glad I haven’t fallen.
The kids seemed to have had a good day. G went to the salon after school while Tipper went to robotics. Neither one was very talkative when they got home, though, and, hmmm… no one did their chores. That’ll be a fun conversation when they get in this afternoon.
I did manage to watch about three quarters of football. The Bengals may have gone into the game being a two-touchdown favorite, but the Commanders showed that their defense can make one hell of a stand in the red zone and that rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is the real thing. Washington won the game 38-33, and even that doesn’t capture how pitiful the Bengals looked. Of course, that was better than the other Monday night game, where the Bills ran all over the Jaguars, 47-10. The only time that game was close was before the Jags got on the field.
Kat fell asleep mid-scroll. I’m not kidding. Her phone is in one hand, the other is poised for scrolling, and she’s dead asleep. It’s so cute!
I’m not sure how this is possible, but the last full-sized K-Mart is just now closing. The discounter was failing long before Sears Holdings declared bankruptcy in 2019. This final store in Bridgehampton, NY, on Long Island, will close its doors forever on October 20. Those of you who are younger will never know the thrill of hearing a blue-light special announcement in the store.
Your diet isn’t working. Severe obesity is on the rise in the US. All 50 states and territories posted obesity rates higher than 20%. We’re committing a slow suicide, and paying for it with higher medical costs. Have we reached a point where we just don’t fucking care? That seems to be the consensus.
Stephen & Evie Colbert have a cookbook. The Late Night talk show’s host is getting pretty close to having his wife as a full-time sidekick. Audiences don’t seem to mind. Many even enjoy the romantic back and forth between the couple. This still isn’t likely to be enough for him to capture a coveted Emmy award.
Two Outer Banks Homes Collapse Into the Ocean in North Carolina. The article tells you that this is the ninth home to fall into the ocean in the past four years. What I find more disturbing is that this is the third home to collapse this year. I used to camp along the islands of the Outer Banks when the boys were little. This development is both sad and frightening as a special way of life on these islands is dissolving.
Tuesdays are often shit-hits-the-fan days. It’s still early, so who knows what could go down today. One thing’s for certain: I’ll most likely sleep through it.

The death toll in Lebanon is now over 560 following two days of Israeli bombardment. Someone needs to intervene, but I don’t think anyone has the guts. We’re not going to see a cease-fire in the region until everyone is covered in blood. The sheer stupidity of it all is mind-boggling.

Remember when I used to actually do things?
