Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.

It used to be that if you wanted a package of small bandages that were about the size of an adult index finger, you could find it at any pharmacy. No problem. Yeah, good luck finding that now. If you don't very specifically know the dimensions and the name of what this bandage type is, […]
