Flat

It seems half of my friends are currently sick and it's the usual end-of-year phenomenon: powering through at work and/or with Christmas preparations at maximum capacity and then when you were planning to reap the rewards of your hard work and chill for a bit you find yourself feeling like absolute sh** and unable to do much. I more or less succeeded in nipping a mean cold in the bud the week before last, knowing I had to entertain my mother, deliver a workshop, attend a Christmas party, fly to the UK (and survive a flight: if you've ever flown with congested sinuses you know what I mean...cannot recommend) and enjoy the concert I had been looking forward to for months. Wishing everyone whether ill or not the chill and peaceful time they need to recover.
