I’m going to go see “Black Adam” today.

The reviews have been… less than favorable.

Oh, and I just got my 5th covid shot in my left arm, and my first shingles shot in my right arm. I’ve been told that both of them can cause side effects. I got my shots less than an hour ago and my movie is going to start in about an hour. I don’t expect to feel any ill effects until later today, which is why I’m seeing the movie now. Today is also my first weekend day off. I don’t go back to work again until Friday. So for the next few days… I’m a glutton for punishment.

What else…

I’m currently working on chunk 47 of “A New Day”. I had one of my characters go in a direction I hadn’t expected but thankfully it still fits within my overall narrative. It still fits in with the ending I had in mind before I ever started this journey. I like to think of my stories in a similar fashion to the 1983 movie National Lampoon Vacation. I know my characters are going to end up at Wally World and have to deal with the various antics they endured getting there. The antics however have always been more organic and flowed from what the characters did. Similar to a cruise liner, the guests onboard can do whatever they want on the ship so long as they don’t veer the ship away from its ultimate destination. I don’t mind the Christie Brinkley like events as they allow the characters to act in accordance with who they are.

Overall I would say I’m now sitting at about 93-94 percent. There is still a number of things that need to happen before we get to the epilogue. The epilogue will jump to Admiral Mortz at some point in the future.
Have I said too much? I don’t think so. All I’ve admitted is that he doesn’t die in the book… or does he? (*cough* the epilogue is still part of the story *cough*)

What else…

My son suffered a concussion on Saturday evening. He was wearing his Halloween costume, which was adult-sized as they didn’t make a ‘foot’ child size, and was running. The outfit, being too big, flopped into his face and he dinged his noggin into a pole. It almost plays out like a cartoon if you think about it. He’s fine but can’t go to school for the rest of the week as his doctor did some coordination tests and found he wasn’t up to speed.

I suffered a concussion when I was a child and it didn’t have any lersting afflections?

Don’t most kids knock themselves out at least once in their lives?

My wife does it every time she opens a bottle of red.

*Shakes fist at sky* That’s the problem with kids nowadays, too sissy-like and weak. Why I had to walk to school in my bare feet through the snow to get to school, and it was uphill both ways.

Tangent time??? — There have been studies suggesting that the reason kids have all these allergies is that they aren’t getting enough dirt time. LINK.

Is it true? I’m not a dercter so miy medicinal oponions R two bee talken whith a punch of sault.

I guess that’s it for now. Enough punishment for now. Time to get back to zoning out and contemplating why I’m starting to feel a bit off right now…
