day two in quarantine was also boring but at least i now have a healthy supply of ginger ale to help me through the day. because of The Medicine, drinking alcohol is no longer a particularly good idea for me and i know some of you out there would not last a day in my shoes. not being able to drink isn’t such a big deal to me, to be honest. sure, i’ll miss the occasional vodka tonic or shot of lobster or river turtle blood mixed with rice wine but i’m not going to cry about it. i can be the full time designated driver now. i enjoy driving far more than drinking anyway. God, i’m going to buy a fast car when this is all over.

i received a letter today from Jeanne Neinzenfauschfuhrerhausenhausenblitzhausen in Paris and she’s right; hand written letters are awesome. i’ve decided to write back but will be nervous about doing so because although i finally regained use of my right arm, it’s still a bit stiff and i’m afraid my already chaotic handwriting will look like the hell script of an over caffeinated land ape.
