I used up our last covid test, just checking. It was negative, for whatever that's worth, imho not much. However, I'm pretty sure it isn't covid, anyway. it is, however, a very tiresome and nasty virus of some kind. Last night was an aeon of semi-conscious misery. I was hoping I'd feel better this morning but no such luck. I had to text Dragonfly and cancel our meeting that was planned for today. It was already canceled once for a funeral. She suggested next Wednesday, but then had to text me back and cancel that because she had forgotten other plans. We've moved it to March, and I hope nothing else will come up. I had to do a little more administrative texting. Then I tried to take a nap, but it didn't work. Ohh I am so not enjoying this. Perhaps tomorrow will be better. I did learn one thing today: If you watch an episode of Father Brown, and then a Hallmark movie where there's a state dinner in some phony little boutique kingdom, you can't help thinking the wine is poisoned and waiting for the murders to begin.

Being sick sucks.

I attended a local sf writers gathering yesterday, in memory of Tom. Saw Michael and Marianne (and Sean), Greg and Barbara, Lawrence, Chip, Sally, and Darryl and Mattie. Lawrence is doing better after a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, despite a few rejection issues.

I'm so glad to hear that about Lawrence! He has had troubles that make my complaints sound a bit thin. I miss the Nameless and other Philadelphians more than I can say.
