A few weekends ago, everyone in my household was gone and I had a couple nights alone. Ordinarily when I have the house to myself, I cook a nice dinner, write and then watch my guilty pleasure: cheap horror films, the more over-the-top the better, the kind no one else will sit through with me (OK, my son usually will, having inherited my love for the genre). But I was sick. Sick again. Sick still.
Like millions of people worldwide, I contracted COVID. And like an estimated 1 in 5 Americans, I don't seem to be getting much better. The weeks have stretched on and on with a headache, brain fog and insomnia due to the pain. I needed a comfort watch and was delighted to discover Disney+ and other streaming services had "Return to Oz" available, a favorite from childhood.
