granted, this is my third day under the weather (i dont think it is covid but who the fuck knows) granted, i probably got sick at my grandma's interment funeral memorial hangout last week cos a bunch of people i didnt know from all around this country were hugging & kissing me & saying things like: i havent seen you in 25 years & granted, my friend is back in the hospital which is a long way of saying: things could be better from a mood standpoint so im saying that upfront re: bias
