i do not know what just happened -- in fact, how can i be sure it wasn't just delusion? a question for the ages to be sure, but i will take it as a win for this world i suppose, which is probably a good thing. and speaking of good things: i feel far less like death than i did earlier. i have a feeling this was connected after all. surprise, surprise, so perceptive.
in other news, you cannot butter the bread BEFORE toasting it. the smell is almost as bad as rotten fish. i'm not even sure this is real butter, given its colour and smell.
