The proposal

I skipped the Holosync track and went to sleep. It took a while, but less than an hour. I awoke several times during the night to throw off the covers, only to pull them up again when I got chilly. I must have slept through Reveille, but I heard Chris get ready for work. I put on the headphones and listened to the nap track. Then the 7:30 alarm went off.

I got up, washed up, and got dressed. I squeezed the juice from two halves of a lemon, wondering if the lemon, or its parent tree, felt any pain. I brushed my teeth and sat by the Happylight, reading about the OKC bombing, which turns out to be another official story that doesn't add up. There was a knock at the door, and the water specialist came to get the water sample Chris captured this morning and to take another one.

I wrote up a proposal for reorganizing and running the Swap Shop. I e-mailed it to Chris for his comments. I slapped the rash on my arm (which showed up around Christmas) to bring blood to the surface to heal it. It doesn't seem to be healing on its own, or with any ointments I have used. It looks like poison ivy and it is possible that it came from some old work gloves I came across in the garage while looking for ornaments. I only opened the box, saw it was full of gloves, then shut it again. Could that be enough?

I read an article from ScienceNews on how mRNA vaccines work. There are a lot of up-sides, but also grave risks if any part of the process doesn't go as planned. They haven't had time to be tested for systemic effects which take longer to manifest. The article points out that your immune system already possesses mRNA nanotechnology which works quite well when fueled by proper nutrition. A lack of vitamin D causes immune suppression, so the system likely won't respond well to either the wild virus or to the mRNA vaccine. I posted the link to Facebook, but Facebook declined it. I had to break the link into two parts in order to get Facebook to allow it.

At 11:30 I connected with a lovely lady and we tapped together. Chris came home at noon for lunch. I heard him call his mom to wish her a happy birthday. When I was finished tapping, I greeted him, then started making breakfast. I read articles and their comments.

At 5 I put on my coat and went to the post office to get the mail, and to send back the Netflix DVD. When I got back, I put steamed veggies, tuna and soup in a bowl to heat up. I also topped it with two sheets of seaweed. The seaweed got extra-crispy, which is not what I had in mind. While waiting, I took several plants out of the windowbox and checked it for leaks, but found none. So I covered the books below it with plastic to protect them from the water that inevitably drips on them. I read e-mail until 8. I rolled out my calves. Then I made my evening drink. We watched two episodes of Republic of Doyle. I posted to my blog and got ready for bed.
