convalescence

Can't shave hairy scabs. So you end up looking even worse than you are.

Fear not, I only looked like this for a couple of days.

I will come back to America someday. Can't see making a life here.

I sit, therefore I heal. Faster.

Always have a vice, a retreat, a bugbear. trick is switching up the bugbear
away from what you actually want to get done.
