Hello again

Being more or less incapacitated for nearly a week has been wonderful. Despite the somewhat too frequent discomfort of being ill, I strangely enjoyed the experience. I clearly needed a time out from Earth. All I did was lay down in the darkened basement with the TV gently flickering and murmuring... I spoke to essentially nobody and the medication ensured that I slept, or at minimum was sufficiently spun out to be totally incapable of maintaining a thought. It was like being in a constant, peaceful (albeit uncomfortable at times) present. OK, I'm glamorizing the flu.

I think by Monday I will be ready to face the masses. For now, I'm going to watch 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and gorge myself on Cadbury Fruit and Nut- the only chocolate bar that could describe me so well.
