I think it’s great. Technically, it’s a Bass VI, but it’s capoed at the fifth fret. The tone’s heavier than most of the other guitars I have, I suspect the pickups are more responsible than the low tuning.

Still nursing a cold. My colds don't usually last long. Last time I had covid, it lasted four weeks. I don't plan on going anywhere, but I may have Walmart deliver some covid tests.

My gran used to say that a cold lasts nine days - three days coming, three days staying, and three days going. Of course, she also said that the splashes made by raindrops were pixies dancing in the puddles. Daft as a brush, she was.

Waiting for my copper to be delivered. Shouting at Amazon’s website doesn’t seem to speed things up.

Just finished my dinner, which was the first actual food I had all day because I feel like shit. Now to see how long it takes before I get diarrhea again.

Still waiting for baby boy. He decided to wait awhile. But, if he's not there by the end of the weekend, labor will be induced Monday.

Ordering Covid tests. It turns out that Amazon was a better option than Walmart. I've got a two-pack coming later today.

My Walmart Plus annual fee was just charged. I thought it was later in the month. I'm about $600 ahead of budget this month, so I should be able to pay down credit cards at the end of the month.

Induction to take place in the morning. We'll see how long it takes for Baby Boy Stubborn to arrive.
