Blech

I'm still struggling to get back to my pre-vacation sleeping schedule. As I knew I would, I started going to bed later and later until I wasn't asleep until about 3am around New Year's. Since I now get up at 5am again, this is a problem. I think a week of sleep deprivation has helped to correct my inclination to stay up late, though. Last night I crashed at about 11:30 and didn't wake up until just now.

Other than that, my first week back wasn't bad. I went out and got drunk with my coworkers on Thursday night as our Christmas party had to be postponed during the transit strike. I actually kind of like having it after Christmas, anyway.

Chris and I have both been fighting off something all week - perhaps my usual Christmas cold was also postponed. I thought I had successfully beaten it, but last night I noticed that my tonsils were enormous, and sure enough this morning my throat is killing me, so it looks like a lazy weekend of tea drinking and catching up on sleep is in order.
