CHICAGO - Chicago Fire fan Andrea Benedetti stated that she would eventually get back to repairing supporters group flags for the Chicago Fire when she finishes trying to bury her anxiety with marijuana.

“I’m alone, at the house, with no job and no sports,” stated Benedetti to The Nutmeg News over Skype. “I’m worried about my mom and grandma in Champaign. I’m tired of talking to them every day and trying to convince them that I’d like them to take this seriously because I want them to not die. I haven’t gotten a notification on my rent yet but I don’t have enough money to pay for it and buy groceries for the next month and I’ve filed for unemployment but didn’t receive a check yet. At this point, I can only hope that my landlord is understanding, my job hires me back after this is over, my family doesn’t die, and this weird feeling in my throat isn’t me getting sick.”

Benedetti has taken to starting projects, getting distracted with all the horrifying news on her phone, then self medicating in order to make herself feel better.

“I know that I probably shouldn’t be relying on this, but it’s still better than starting to drink at 10:00am,” stated Benedetti. “At this point, I’m just trying to make it through the day somehow.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Benedetti tries to find a strain that would enhance her creativity instead of one that makes her re-watch Scrubs for the 438th time.
