Welcome to the shortest day of the year. Up here the winter solstice officially happened at about 11:50 last night, and the day today will be slightly shorter than yesterday (less than a second, in fact). And the warm weather (Santa’s gonna have to wear shorts and a t-shirt Thursday, with temperatures expected to hit 70 around here) has so far taken the sting out of the lack of daylight. Tomorrow we get 4 seconds more daylight than today. Not much, but we’ll take it.<\/p>\n
I seem to have contracted some sort of disease. It hit me Saturday, and by Sunday I was feeling pretty awful. Even worse yesterday (which I had already luckily scheduled a vacation day for), as I spent the whole day in bed. Not sleeping, really, but just trying not to move my head. I’ve been blowing blood out of my head, and I have a nasty, painful, dry cough (also bringing up some rusty stuff). Oh, and a sore throat, of course. I feel better today, but not really all that great. At least I was able to drag myself into work. <\/p>\n
I’m fairly used to not feeling good, but it’s pretty unusual for me to actually get sick. I really don’t like it and I hope it goes away soon, though this feels like it’s gonna be a lingerer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
