Weeellll, it's been a while, eh?  Most of January was spent getting Axeman healed up.  We slept a lot, ate really good home-cooked food, played computer games, watched movies and went to Dr appointments.  It was kind of like early retirement.

It was my turn to be sick last week, but it passed pretty quickly.  Monday I could feel that something wasn't quite right, but attempted to keep a normal schedule.  I got errands run and some housework done, but by evening I knew I was 'in for it'.   Tuesday I took it easy as much as I could, but had a pre-planned coffee date for an informal job ( Read more... )
