Back on the chain gang
Back in the office today, after 12 days off. Spent the morning in fire-fighting mode, then things quieted down in the afternoon.
I came down with a cold on Monday, which doesn't surprise me, given how many cold-infested people I'd been around for the prior week-and-a-half. As colds go, it hasn't been too obnoxious so far; I've been taking zinc tablets, which may be helping, though, lawd, they're nasty.
I'll only be in the office for a half-day tomorrow; the Lovely Bride and I fly down to Florida tomorrow evening to see her father and stepmother. The Lovely Bride's stepsister called yesterday, to give us the heads-up on the stepmother's condition (mostly, how her personality has changed). Hoping it'll be a good visit regardless.
It's frickin' cold here today...it was single-digits this morning (with a lovely wind), and tonight it should get down below zero (though, at least, with no wind). So, I was wearing all these new Christmas-present clothes -- the parka from my Lovely Bride, the courderoys from my parents (I don't think I've owned cords since the '80s), the heavy gloves from my niece. The 70s they're predicting for Florida this weekend are sounding better all the time -- though, by the time we get home Sunday night, it's supposed to be in the 50s here. Psycho weather. :-P
