Since I haven’t left my bed in three days (yes, I write this from there, and yes, a swab stuck so far up my nose I think it touched my brain confirmed I have actual influenza and, no, don’t ask me if I got a flu shot), it seems like the perfect time to be dreaming about being elsewhere. Since I’ve been sleeping about 18-20 hours per day, interrupted by violent coughing blasts, those few hours when I’m awake and consuming little outside applesauce and Odwallas seem like pretty good times to be starting Spain…On the Road Again, which I got on DVD for my birthday.

Feel better soon!
