Well, you'll be pleased to know that the dreaded chest infection turned out to be strained muscles due to too much coughing. Not too embarrassing, then...
My work is up to date - finished at two o'clock this morning. How's that for dedication? Two minor problems remain, however... I am sooo cross-eyed with sleepiness today that I can't make conversation; even the most mundane, 'hello! how are you, today?' exceeds my energy levels. I can only nod or shake my weary head, and hope to God that I'm not agreeing to anything I might later regret...
The second problem is, of course, that my 'up to date' status has now expired; eight pages (the next four story stages) are awaiting my eager attention. Sigh. It was great while it lasted...
