I think it's the flu, but whatever it is I'm out of commission. I detest my weakness, even as I realize that the only thing to do is lie down and drink water for a day or three. I've been downloading and watching old Family Guy episodes to pass the time, and Nascera and her friend Amy(?) made me a healing elixer of ginger-licorice tea infused with a ton of garlic, hot pepper, lemon and honey. We'll see how it fairs tomorrow.
