Goodnight friends! A bright enough start, but colder, dipping back down into single digits. When the wind picked up in the afternoon it swept in a dour, featureless layer of cloud cover and a constant slow prickling rain. Pink-tipped fresh young shoots, in all their heraldic variety of scales and spoons and lance-tips, shivered in the bustling chill.
There seems to be a mild cold in circulation around my city, and I must have caught it from my girlfriend. She felt fine last time we were together, but had a sudden snap onset of stuffy nose and sore throat on Friday. It was mostly cleared for her by today, when it was my turn to wake with a scratchy chest and sniffles. Hopefully it will be as quick and easy a course for me as it was for her. For now I’m feeling a slight extra veil of exhaustion and fever on top of the usual, and have just been trying to keep things very slow and steady.
May we find comfort and healing today!
