Yes, no getting out of bed, not even to bathe. Who cares? Great description, Doug.

I've had days like this too, now that I think about it, even if I can't think about it, I think. Good luck in the contest Doug.

Yeah, Chris, it's not the same as wanting to die, but for that day it's rather like not wanting to live.
