Bruges, Belgium

Three Belgian beers fit for consumption.

I woke up today around 11:00 and was too tired to muster up any strength to travel to Ghent today. So, I took it easy in my hotel room most of the day. After waking up, I showered, dressed, and walked to the nearby Subway and Carrefour Express for lunch. With food in hand, I hurried back to the hotel (it was raining) and returned to my room. Back in my room, I ate the meatball sub I had bought along with a bag of popcorn, some cheese, and three different types of Belgian beer. I then alternated between wasting time on the internet and typing out journal entries. After 22:00, I exited the hotel again in search of food. All the nearby restaurants and stores were closed for the day except for Dominos; so I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a bottle of Sprite. I then walked right back to my room, ate my meal, and proceeded to relax some more and waste more time. I need a real change in my life to energize my spirits because this is ridiculous; or maybe it’s just the effects of this illness that I’m still trying to shake. Oh well. Anyway, I finally went to bed around 03:00 and sleep followed later.

An open journal or an exercise in narcissism.
