Grumbling
Fatigue has got the better of me today. I’ve been completely wiped out and have achieved very little. I’ve spent most of the day horizontal.
Fatigue is a strange thing. It strikes when you don’t expect it, for no apparent reason. Then other times, when you think you’ll be tired, you have a unexpected energy. All you can do is go with the flow.
Hopefully, I will perk up tomorrow and get through at least some of my tasks.
I’m also disappointed we didn’t get to see my sister when she came down for the WoW show. Sadly, not enough time to fit it in. Still, she had a good time, which is the important thing.

Good grief, this issue with the land that Cards for Humanity bought in Texas to save and Elon Musk’s SpaceX is now illegally building on it is scandalous. I’m glad they’re fighting back.

What you need to know
Am I the only person who is irritated by the statement “What you need to know” in online stories?
Where has this phrase come from? Has it been audience tested, or have people just copied other publications?
I find it patronising and I don’t know how a copy writer in a website can know what I already know about something and what I might want to know about it.
My normal reaction is “I’ll decide what I want or need to know about something, not you.” Harrumph.
