Still feeling terrible. This cold is taking me a long time to kick. I went back to work today but felt like I was moving in slow motion. Maybe the fact that I got called in for an emergency appendectomy in the middle of the night didn’t help. I could use a good night of pure sleep.

Life goes on in the meantime though. The kids have been busy with some art projects. J started a snowman (until she came down with the same cold) and T finished it. E, age 14, finished a gift for a friend – Luna from HP complete with Gryffindor lion hat. And T did another drawing of me, himself, and J. Pretty good likenesses actually.
