> DRINK COFFEE
There is no coffee.
> SEARCH SNACK CUPBOARD
The snack cupboard is empty. Yes, the hard-to-reach corner in the back is empty too.

My daughter is meeting her friends in the park to start a book company. They're doing this because one friend is broke, and she needs some money. The other friend loves to write. The third friend is just tagging along, but is hard to say "no" to.

Things are unaffordable because billionaires are stealing from us
It doesn't look like flu season has kicked off in the U.S. yet (based on searches for "flu").
At any rate I'm getting my flu shot next Wednesday. And I already bought Guinness and red wine this week, why take a chance?
