It’s Tuesday. I swear this is the most annoying stage of being sick—the “almost human but not quite” phase. I’m doing better, but I’m also not magically cured. My stomach is still suspicious of everything I eat and my body keeps acting like it’s running on Windows 95—lots of lag, random error messages, and the occasional need to reboot. I’m well enough to complain, but not well enough to stop complaining.

I think I’ve cracked the case. A sharp-eyed reader sent me the photo on the right, and it hit me—I’m clearly suffering from a dangerous deficiency of candy corn. It’s been nearly a year since my last dose, so to be safe, I grabbed a bag and have officially begun self-medicating!

Keep,

For those long days before Halloween.
