my gruntles have been removed

The year is not off to a flying start, inasmuch as I am beset by oddities:

• I woke this morning with a migraine [not a hangover, I didn't drink] and unexplained dizziness which took a few hours to ease off
• My cellphone started misbehaving, by not displaying the correct keys I need to operate the current screen I'm using. I needed to pull the battery out, then back in, to get it to smarten up. It's never done this before.
• One of the smoke alarms started giving random false alarms. Time for a new one, I guess. However, since it's today, nowhere is open for me to get one.

It feels a lot like living in a Road Runner cartoon...
