2/29/2020 – Saturday (longform)

I managed to hold Keely off until around 7 am, which was nice as it gave me more time to wallow in my discomfort. I was feeling much improved and also hungry last night, so I tried to eat a “real” dinner of solid food. This, my friends, was a mistake. While it did not...
