What If

So yesterday was that first day after being sick that I did my hair, put on makeup to disguise my Nicole-Kidmanesque pallor, got dressed and went out briefly. As is typical for this stage, I felt terrible afterward, put my jammies back on and climbed into bed again. Hopefully today will be better.
