Ugh, sniffle. I caught something germy from one of the graduate students (well, probably; about a third of them are sick, but I do live in a rather large petri dish of a city), which caused me to miss a day and a half of work. Now I'm having trouble sleeping because Fermata is not here and because I can't breathe through my nose, and so I am on ( Read more... )
