I have the worst post-Macworld Expo cold. I think I have a fever, but I have no thermometer. My sister Peg, mom of the niece/nephews, is on the way.

There’s a lot of things I like about living on my own, but being sick with no one to take care of me is not one of them. On the other hand, I don’t know how I would cope with being this sick AND taking care of the kids.

Sigh. Life is nothing if not a long series of tradeoffs…
