The "Consistent" Edition
Greetings, Friends and Subscribers,
Happy Standard Time—not!
Apologies again for my Covid-absence last Sunday. I appreciate your inquiries into my health and wellness.
Well, I’m back. Aside from being a little bit easier-to-fatigue, I have only one remaining symptom. It’s not really a symptom, though. It’s more like I’m The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat except in my case I’m The Woman Who Woke Up and Never Wanted A Cup Of Coffee Again. For anyone who knows me, this is just about as weird as me mistaking someone for a hat. I don’t know what is going on. I simply don’t desire it. I don’t want it. I don’t think about it. This is not normal for me.
Maybe I got bonked on the head and didn’t realize it before I took the Paxlovid. Or maybe I actually did bonk myself in the head during the pre-Paxlovid period of time when my head already felt like it was being bashed in. Anyway, it’s weird and dislocating. It’s a mental version of looking in the mirror and not recognizing myself. I will report in after my first latté if the coffee gene kicks in again.
Here’s what you need to read after your own beloved cups of coffee today. All the news of the week that women need to know. From Politics to Pop Culture, and everything in between.

See you from the West Coast next Sunday! …unless I get a Paxlovid rebound and can’t go again!
