Blood in My Bed
Blood in My Bed
A funny moment from my journal—

I just found quite a bit of blood in my bed. And apparently what I thought was bits of sand or little stones scraping my legs under the covers has actually turned out to be mouse shit. I'm extremely tired. My hand hurts pretty good. Somehow my throat is killing me. I've had diarrhea all day—which, as it ends up, has turned out to be a funny story. Gonna go to bed and write this on the plane.
