Have had tea and breakfast. Have caught up on news, correspondence, the Hydro questionnaire I was bugged about on Sunday. Slate cleared for work on the newest assignment. (Yet another epic fantasy ms. to review. I may have to take epic fantasy off the list of subjects I’ll accept.)

The unfair: Despite all this virtuous activity, I have a bad headache, am still suffering on and off from a bloody nose for no apparent reason, and the cold than began manifesting yesterday has entrenched.

I’m going back to bed for an hour. If I’m not back by lunch at the latest, send more cats.

LATER: Back and better, thank you.

ETA: Oh, and that Hydro questionnaire? We’re already so damned efficient that the best it could recommend was “You could save $63 annually by installing electric thermostats instead of using the old manual ones!” Gee, thanks, Hydro.
