Right now, I think I'm feeling the effects of stress more than anything else. Hopefully, things will improve after this week, though goodness knows what will happen while I'm at home. Seems things are OK there, other than this being the time of year where colds migrate from my sisters' classrooms to them to the rest of the family, so if I come back with a bug in my system, I won't be terribly suprised. Ah well. Such is life.

Back to work!

Bis Spater!
