It's good it's not Covid, but sinus infections still sucks.
It seems to kind of be up and down in intensity right now, strangely. Ever since I got out of the care center this morning there are moments where I barely feel anything and offhand think that I would be good to go to work tonight after all, and other moments where various pain and irritation from the symptoms seems just as bad as it was all last night.
Watching a kids' horror show on Netflix called "Creeped Out" right now while getting my rest. Apparently a modern-day equivalent of Goosebumps, but with more emphasis on the slow-burn creep factor over intending to be outright scary. There was actually a really good and thoughtful line at the end of the first episode brought to us by the show's creepy-masked-child narrator who introduces to us each strange and macabre tale, as she reflects on the sad plight of this particular episode's protagonist, who literally lost five years of his adolescent life with no memory whatsoever due to a mysterious force called The Paladin that compelled our hero to join him, The Paladin, on a quest in his favorite online game. You could say that the story is ham-fisted by default on account of being yet another obvious gaming-addiction-scare tale, but I think it had some merit and truth to it in the narrator's final line:
"How many 'one more's' will be one too many (referring to the protagonist's titular line everytime he was compelled to lay off of the game: 'One more minute!')? .... Unfortunately the cold truth is that we will never know until we're past the point of no return."
Well played, I would say,

and can apply well to our own lives as God's children who constantly need Him to hold us back from going past that point of no return. Thanks to Jesus Christ, I believe that it can never happen. His sacrifice at the Cross once for all time accomplished just that. I can believe in no less.
..... But then of course they had to go and belch out a much stupider line a few episodes later, with some bratty kid in a hotel lobby looking around with disdain and going, "Ugh .... The air here smells like nostril breath."
WHAT?!
