So, I dropped Alex off at my mom's this past weekend and, much like last year, I came home with an affliction. Fortunately, this year it's not as bad as before. It's only a cold, but it's enough. I've been hacking and wheezing all day today; I'm working from home tomorrow so that I don't disturb people with my attempts to dislodge my lungs. I'm hoping that by Tuesday I'll be fit to rejoin society.

Hope everyone's doing well...
