Back from the dead, mostly

Well, as of Wednesday I've been back at work, and mostly finished with my cold. It's still hanging on, and I'm getting the feeling that it will be for some time. I'm still tired (usually asleep by 10:00pm) still have a bit of a stuffy head and cough, but at least I'm no longer incapacitated, and can breathe through my nose! (hooray!)

Wednesday evening Kelly and I went out to Veritable Quandary for dinner. VQ is a nice place, with a good wine selection (apparently) and a decent beer selection. It's a little spendy (expect to spend about $70 per couple, which includes dinner, maybe a dessert, and a couple drinks) but it's got a nice atmosphere and our server was very friendly and helpful. I had a very good caesar salad, a couple pints of beer (memory already fading on what it was, but I was still a bit sick so I don't remember tasting much), and what I thought was going to be an appetizer pizza (ended up being about 10") with a very salty thin-sliced meat called capicola (coppa on the menu). By about 9:15 I was feeling exhausted, and full and arrived home just in time for me to hit the pillow before I fell asleep. Romantic, I know. 🙂

Last night I met my friend Jenn at Mash Tun for a little bit, and later Kelly met me there after she finished with a meeting with some of her classmates for her MBA. Like the night before, I started fading pretty early.

Tonight Kelly's at class, and has class all day tomorrow. I'm just relaxing, letting my body continue to fight the evil. If the forecast holds and it actually is partly sunny and 56 degrees tomorrow, I may try to spend some time working on the yard. It's a mess!
