This does seem to have been the December from Hell for a number of us, doesn't it? Fortunately, this stuff clears up after a while. The cold is mostly gone, the sense of smell is returning.

Virginia, maeve, Michelle, take good care of yourselves. Santa, we'll let you fend for yourself. I think you have some hidden resources to tap into. (I saw The Santa Clause - what a facility!)

Working today, break begins tomorrow, but I'll be teaching myself some new software so it won't all be time off.
