I’ve been pretty sick for over a week now. Daycare is a Petri dish of germs and viruses, but most have them have passed me by; this one, in contrast, hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve been the sickest I’ve felt in years: a really unpleasantly deep congestion in my lungs combined with a lightheaded wooziness that comes and goes through the day.

So, for the moment, I’m pretty quiet here. I’ll be back to it soon.
