From the e-mail I sent my family last night…

That was all I had energy to do before I crashed. (NyQuil is the devil.)

Diana’s mom had already arranged to stay home and watch her, which is a good thing, because Lenny’s also home from school with a 105-degree fever (same bug I have, probably). Diana’s in no shape to watch him herself, and I can’t really take off work.

I can’t wait until I’m established in this job, and have actual vacation and sick time.
