Update

It's Christmas vacation at last. The kids are beyond excited, most of the presents are wrapped and hidden away, and I think we might be ready.

Of course, I had to go and catch a cold. I've been fighting it all week. It started with aches and fatigue on Sunday. Today it's aches, but not fatigue and a sore throat that kept me up all night long. I've since taken some Advil and am taking cough drops like my life depended on them. If it keeps up, I'll go to the doctor. For now, it's sort of bearably awful.

Otherwise, not much new around here. I will tell you about my hair, but that's for another day.
