Good morning, all. The Covid shot on Saturday wiped me out yesterday. My Fitbit said I had slept a total of two hours Saturday night / Sunday morning. It’s no surprise that I was out like a light on the couch last night at 9:30. I woke up enough to come to bed at eleven, and slept soundly. I feel much better today.

The HVAC quote guy is here looking at the heat pump for the basement. I told him that we’re not planning on staying in this house for very long, so a builder’s grade replacement is fine. Holy Moley! The tariffs have fscked us over big time. A bottom tier heat pump system is now more expensive than the middle tier A/C and furnace system we had to get last spring.

I want to enjoy crosswords and sudokus, but I just don’t. I think my dyslexia wreaks havoc on my ability to work them. **Mrs Magill** and I usually have a jigsaw going.

I think it’s going around. I usually set up the coffee maker after dinner. I did not last night. But that’s why we have the Keurig.

You all are for the birds.
