Of course I'd get knocked on my ass by a mystery bug in the first days of my fall break. Stomach cramps, nausea, loss of appetite, joint pain & headaches...at least it's not COVID?! 🙃

The good news is being bed-bound has given me the [forced] opportunity to work on my manuscript-in-progress / dissertation, and I'm finishing a short story based on Levi-Strauss's shamanistic complex---how belief in magic makes it real. Who said structural anthropology and spooky fiction don't mix?
