To truly recover from the flu, I have discovered that you have to spend a great amount of time not wearing pants while simultaneously not laying in bed. It’s really quite necessary to make a full recovery. Listening to Iron & Wine’s cover of “Such Great Heights” sixteen times in a row helps a lot too.

Sister #4 and the Interloper have gone off to parts unknown and I couldn’t be happier. They just don’t seem to understand that men and women have lost their lives fighting great wars so that hard-working American women can spend their hard-earned Thanksgiving vacations not wearing pants and not being annoyed by younger sisters from Udaho.
