Well, the universe conspired against me tonight. I kept trying to read logs, but was having problems with my always on internet. I really can’t complain as it’s really up and fast 99.99% of the time, but still feel like complaining.

Since I didn’t get a ton of sleep last night I’m off to bed in a few minutes. Tomorrow has been designated as a homework day, so little to no playing on the computer until it’s done… really!

I think I’m feeling better, so if I take it easy tomorrow perhaps I’ll be good as new by Thursday. Hell, I’d settle for being well by the weekend. Oh, I had a shot at comfort food tonight and made mac n’ cheese… well, fusilli and cheese, but same concept. I was really looking at something I could add as an occasional side dish and ended up making too big a portion. We decided that when I make it again I’ll do half the amount and add some kind of veggie on the side.
