I've been ill. Bleh. I hate these summer colds that make you feel just bad enough to make your days and nights miserable. For me, all week I've been wrestling a scratchy throat and a low-grade fever -- not enough to keep me home from work but enough to keep me grumpy and out of my exercise routine. Plus, this cold comes along during a busy time at work. I've been driving back and forth to meetings in a town a couple of hours away, so these road trips in the heat and humidity of a Missouri summer haven't helped my disposition any. I hope to be back in the groove of things next week. I miss the routine of blogging.
