The wages of working hard is a head cold.

Over the past few days, I have

• graded discussions and ancillary assignments,
• responded to poems galore,
• attended a curriculum meeting wherein I
• presented several pieces of curriculum, and
• read 70+ job applications, as well as
• made some planning moves for our five year program review, and
• cleaned up my bedroom.

Also, I have been trying to take better care of myself by

• working out.

(Somehow, the bulleted list makes all this well-doing seem more official.)

To resume: also, I 

• drove super, super carefully in the thick-falling snow on my way to
• work.

No wonder I am now

• sick.

So I better go 

• to bed, hopefully to feel better. Maybe I will take some variety of
• OTC medicines.

In conclusion, 

• ugh.

That is all.
