Before I even took my meds last night, at about 8pm, I started to feel very very sleepy. Ended up soon falling deeply asleep on the couch. A friend came over last weekend with some sort of upper respiratory infection virus (doesn't sound like COVID, but now I'm wondering). We never wear masks with each other. I barely go out, and where a mask when I do, and same with her. She said she gets sick like this about twice a year. She's a heavy smoker and that may be why. Nonetheless, I'm feeling very stupid right now. I hope I'm not fighting something, and if I am, I hope my body wins.

In other news, we've been having PERFECT, clear, beautiful fall days over here. It's been a great pleasure. I can't wait for the leaves to change. There are already subtle indications.
