You get to hang with the Bard! He must find you most interesting company, since you're so familiar with his work.

Does he have a topic that he wants you to use this weekend?

Will is used to secrecy. Rival playhouses were always trying to steal new material before the premier of a new play at the Globe. Bad for business...

I've been sick for like 5 weeks. Cold, flu and now drugs for strep throat and sinusitis. Sigh.

The problem with determining what was the worst disease of Shakespeare's time is that medicine was very un-scientific back then. They used a lot of vague, non-specific terms for a variety of different diseases.

For example, "consumption" was a term used for things like tuberculosis, cancer, and so on.

"Pox" was a term for smallpox, syphilis, and more. It's difficult, as a result, to know just what ailment a Shakespeare character is actually suffering from.
