So I’ve been sick, which my long-term readers know is the only thing (aside from being shut away from Internet connectivity altogether, or being eaten by a grue) that keeps me off the air. \u00a0I came down with a fever Tuesday, things peaked (or reached their nadir) Thursday, and I was pretty much back among the living Saturday, enough to not cancel our Easter dinner tonight (though I may be less than my usual vigorous hosting self for it).<\/p>\n

It really was a “ugh fever don’t feel good don’t want to do anything just wanna feel better blah” kind of a thing. I watched a lot of TV, read a lot, and wore a hole in the couch. \u00a0Oh, and did a number on our Ibuprofin supply.<\/p>\n
