Not dead yet!

Well, the head cold turned into a chest cold which turned into not-bronchitis-but-still-feels
-nasty. Any exertion beyond walking makes me hack up a lung. Not pleasant, but improving daily. Hiatus will continue till next Sunday, I think. Considering that several of my friends have contracted pneumonia in the past month, I think I dodged a bullet.

School started on Monday, with all the attendant adjustments. You'd think after 10 years of getting a kid ready for school, we'd have this down by now. It did go smoothly this year, and having a schedule again after the free-for-all of the summer holiday is refreshing. The past three days have been spent getting my domestic ducks in a row and following up on some neglected tasks.
