update from the sick

It's not that bad; it's a head cold.  But you know in a lot of ways that's the worst, when you're all the way at the far edge of uncomfortable, and all you can do is treat the symptoms and that not very well.

So, I slept for eleven hours or so, which was okay.  I'll have a hot shower and then lie down some more.  I'll tell you what, though, it's been a long time since I took NyQuil -- and is that shit crazy or what?  There were times when, for example, I turned over in bed, and then I swear I had to make a decision to bring my body with me.  I do not know the last time I was that stoned (which would also have been on NyQuil or codeine or similar, of course).  Whew!

Incidentally, President Bartlet, "naming you as my nominee" is redundant.  You could have said "Judge Mendoza, I am nominating you to be the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court".
