It’s a writing from bed kind of week. Symptoms are flaring and I am resting, reading and writing into the question that popped into my head when I couldn’t sleep, “what does the universe smell like?”

I have been having a lot of disturbing dreams lately so I was very appreciative this morning that my brain gave me a dream where I was SO excited I was about to meet Kermit. I lost my mind when I found out his nephew Robin was coming too. (Never actually met them but the anticipation was amazing.)
