Perversely cheering to re-encounter the "Index to Tears" compiled for an 1886 edition of Henry Mackenzie's #18thc novel _The Man of Feeling_. (It's reprinted in the modern Oxford edition.)
47 entries for a novel of 98 pages.
I like the parenthetical annotation "Choking, &c, not counted".

Wondering if there's a blacklist or bulletin board for warnings of bad and unethical clients. I've just had a ridiculous experience with a museum's editor, who seemed to see indexing as some sort of literary maid service.

Tried to treat myself today, but most food makes me sick to look at or smell. I still tolerate lemon water, rice cooked in chicken broth, and little oranges. Green beans are the only acceptable veg this week, though I think escarole or chard might be OK, if I could get them. With white beans.

I didn't realize until last night, when a friend mentioned it in a text, that this Sunday is Easter. Work.
At least I don't have time to feel sad/guilty about doing no Easter baking this year. Buying myself a chocolate bunny would be nice, if I can do it via insta-cart.

Older people who use smartphones ‘have lower rates of cognitive decline’
Analysis of over-50s who engage with phones, tablets and other devices challenges fears of ‘digital dementia’
Fears that smartphones, tablets and other devices could drive dementia in later life have been challenged by research that found lower rates of cognitive decline in older people who used the technology.
