After my disturbed Sunday night I slept in to 11 today and woke up freezing. Grumbled about 'this is what happens when you turn the thermostat down to 19 instead of 21' (21 makes the downstairs sorta bearable and the upstairs stifling) then got up and saw that my nightlong thrashing about had thrown the pillow onto the vent by the bed. So I can still keep the thermostat under 20 unless the wind comes up.
Serious lack of side effects from booster shot. Was prepared for two days of fuzz and sore arm. As it is, got myself out to the Dufferin Mall for a replacement charger for the phone, and then, because I was in a spacious indoor space, did some of that walking about the surgeon recommends ha ha ha.99% masked except for the (all but one male) nose jobs who evidently can't talk if their nose is covered, go figure. Succumbed to temptation and had Mall Chinese Food in the Mall Food Court. Proof of vaccination required to eat in. Guard wanted to see it on my phone and couldn't, obviously, because phone was out of charge. This is why I carry a paper copy and ID, fella.
But later in the afternoon started developing odd achy-pains in shoulder and scapula on the vaccinated side and am yawning at 8 p.m. so maybe side effects are only now appearing. Elbows have been twingey all day too, but that's called Tuesday in these parts.
Continue unable to read anything but Rex Stout even though Archie is getting up my nose a bit. Mannerless smart alec. Very midcentury American male attitude, that wise-cracking lack of courtesy indicates an alpha male who is to be admired. Feh.
But it occurs to me that, in a kind of inside out fashion, Archie is to Wolfe as Jeeves is to Bertie-- the one who manages him when he becomes obdurate and immature. We never get inside Jeeves' head to know how things look to him-- he may be forbearing outwardly but might think quite differently inside- and of course Bertie, while a blitherer, is not as much an ass as, or is a different kind of ass from, Wolfe. But I see parallels.
