He Lives!

I think. This is the first time I've been out of bed for an extended period since Wednesday. I seem to have suffered no ill effects from yesterday's mashed potatoes, so I may treat myself to a jelly doughnut this morning -- I can't quite nerve myself up for a cream-filled Bavarian. I have this real hankering for sweets. I must need quick calories (the mashed potatoes were the only solid food I've had in three days). Maybe pick up some bananas, too.

And some broth.

I'm still a little tight around the middle, but I think that's just from lying in bed not moving for 72 hours. You think?

Strangely enough, politics isn't so interesting today.

Feel better soon! Nothing worse than the flu over a holiday -- drabs out the entire season. Take care of yourself.

Thanks for the good wishes. It's now translated into pneumonia, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Obviously, I'm going to get this season's biggies done all at once.
