I had a hard time sleeping last night, coughing and snorting with aplomb and gusto from time to time. I awoke with a headache teetering on the edge of migrane-ness, and I spent much of the day sleeping and squinting.

I feel better now, though it remains to be seen if this will hold, bringing me safely into the work week with vigor to last at least through its first day.

Happy Mother's day to every mother who ever reads this, no matter what day it is.
