Now into week 9 post-Covid infection and still having big problems with muscle soreness, primarily in my shoulders and neck, but also sometimes in the glutes and quads. What's particularly odd about this frustrating situation is that the pain will move from one location to another. One shoulder is bad one day and the next day the opposite side is more problematic. Nothing out of the ordinary in my blood tests from 3 weeks back.

Wow, a new track from Everything But the Girl came out today. Tracey Thorne and Ben Watt have an upcoming album (the first in 24 years). Can't wait. #music
@globeandmail Really??? I need a content warning for mention of elections? Get a grip.
CW: use of question marks and exclamation points!
My son digitized some of my old vinyl discs by indie bands from Winnipeg and Toronto as part of my Christmas gift. Haven't heard the Dub Rifles, Jim Eaves & Headfirst, and Monuments Galore in ages. Good fun to revisit.
Stuck at home with Covid while the family are out to the The Nutcracker by the Canadian National Ballet. So I decided to finally get round to watching the first couple of episodes of Orange Is the New Black. So glad these shows stick around for those of us who are so bloody slow...
A week or so ago, after seeing post that read, "CW: mention of death", I suggested that I didn't really need that level of protection but that, "CW: mention of Trump" would be a helpful method of keeping me from triggering content ... And now I see @globeandmail has used this exact method to curtain off a Trump story. I'm so tempted to click through ... but no ...
Wow, wow, wow. #PunchBrothers in concert in Toronto last night. Fantastic show despite a number of my favourite tracks not being included in the set. And hey, now I know it's pronounced Thee-lee.
Do we really need to be babysat to the extent that posts read CW: mention of death on @globeandmail ... Heck, if I want a content warning, I'd want it for "mention of Musk", or "mention of Trump". Now those are triggering...
@rbreich Here in Ontario, Canada the situation isn't a whole lot better as this past week the Provincial conservative government once again voted down a bill to provide 10 paid sick days/year to workers in the province. The previous government had put sick days in place prior to losing the election to Doug Ford's conservatives. Ford repealed those sick days very quickly after his election in 2018. The provincial guarantee is now 3 days/year.
Nice to see more of the journalists I used to follow on Twitter showing up here. Added @gailcollins this morning. Hopefully they're finding this platform worthwhile because their involvement is key to making @Mastodon great for the rest of us.
