Man - I don't know where the time goes. I have been down with the most atrocious cough and cold lately. LM has it too... when I got home on Friday his eyes were gooped up like crazy. Then Sunday he was lethargic as all hell, just completely crashed out in my arms for hours at time. Monday was desperate times - what to do with LM? We couldn't send him off to daycare in that condition, so I stayed home in the morning and D came home at 12 and we traded off.

I've been pretty sick too, with a crazy sore throat and in a complete fog. I've had a couple of days where I've felt completely swamped but when I tally up my hours at the end of the day I've only billed three and a half. I always have the best intentions of working at home, but when you're exhausted with cold it makes much more sense just to collapse into bed.

I've had a couple of conversations lately that have hinted to me that no one has thought super strategically about what to do with me at the end of my articles. This revelation is a little alarming to me. I'm not seriously worried about my hire-back potential, only about where it is they'll slot me when the hire-back decision comes around. That and I do not want to be job hunting again anytime soon.

But other than that things are well, work is good and interesting and LM is delicious.
