I'm still congested, headaches, and I think the crud may be turning into bronchitis, but once I can go pick up the Z-pack my doctor called in, perhaps the nastiness will all go away.

But just to let you know how much I really, really suffer for my children -- because we're studying ancient India in history right now. I forced myself to make curry for them last night. Sigh. What a terrible burden.

While I was slaving away at the stove, I said to my son, "You know that Hindus are vegetarians, right?" He replied, "I know, but can we please have some meat in our curry?"
