So glad the shorter version of b'Kat recovered so well...must be rather stressful...particularly with a high fever. And I'm sorry you got it. We've had schools closed here due to the munge traveling around. I'm knocking on wood and eating vitamin C and avoiding the publics as much as possible to avoid it. But hard to do when you're a book tender such as you are. Part of the job. Then again, what would you do, if there was no public to come read your books?

Hope you get well soon. And enjoy just watching the stuff pile up. Sounds a bit warm and romantic, actually. I found a flocked tree by the side of the road, so HH and I took it home and set it up in the yard. Even had lights on it still. So now we can look out the window and see a well lit snowy tree. Gotta do what you gotta do. I need to make a post on it SOME day. So much to write about, so little getting writ most days. Get well soon, and enjoy a bit of time off for awhile. l'PD
