Nothing’s perfect in this fallen world, Stilly, but I came close. When the kitchen is fitted with cabinets that use the space efficiently, I will have room for everything. In particular, the library is down to manageable size so I actually have room to acquire a few more books if any keepers come my way.

The cold is much improved. I’m still a bit snuffly and the cough, of course, is firmly in residence, but I don’t feel like crap on a cracker any more.

But I’m not letting up on the asthma drugs yet. That would be stupid.
