So I ended up in the hospital with diverticulitis. In the emergency department, about half the people I saw were wearing masks, but in the other parts of the hospital almost no one was. Now everything has a bad aftertaste; I know it must be one of the five medications they sent me home with, there hasn't been enough time for Covid symptoms to start showing up, even if that is still a Covid symptom, but WHY aren't masks required in health care WHY this is WRONG.
In other news I rode a bicycle for the first time in ~forty years

Bike is very heavy, and I still don't have a sense of balance, so first thing I did was get on and fall over, but then we got up again and did some circles, both directions.
and saw three banditos on my deck

Dutch was very unhappy that I did not let her out to deal with these rascals.
The raccoons did tip and sort through my trash can that first night, but they haven't been back, possibly because I don't put food in the trash. Everything that rots goes into the compost!
