Sketched up some ideas for the end of the tail…

I’ve been putting off the assembly because I hate EcoWeld and live in fear of it. But I’m running out of pages in my current journal and I have to face my fears.
A Woman Waiting
Portrait of a stranger at the urgent care.

Today I got up, did some work, and then decided to mow the lawn, despite the fact that I’m still sick after more than a week. I did it, though. I mowed that lawn. And promptly decided that I had to go to urgent care because holy God, my lungs were on fire.
Turns out it’s not actually normal to be this sick (with a temp at around 100, which I did not clock because my thermometer is faulty) for 10 days, even if I am capable of mowing the lawn. So now I’m taking antibiotics, I've taken the next couple days off work, and I have a movie list all prepared.
Ugh.
Like I said: when I get sick, I get sick.
Horrors Abound
I can always tell I'm well and truly fucking sick when I can lounge through a solid 7 hours of movies.

My theory about why I get SO sick whenever I get sick is that my relentless brain exhausts my entire system until the physical mechanism encounters a bug, calls a time out, and short circuits the whole operation. Brain goes mostly offline, body does its best to recover with some relative peace, and the amalgamation I call “I” gets to watch shitty entertainment without the need to fidget or putter.
