turning the corner

I *think* I am starting to feel a bit better. I can actually swallow without wanting to cry now, which has to be something. And I managed to get outraged at a news story Riccardo sent me, which requires my brain to be at least part-operational. As long as I'm better enough to finish this chapter tomorrow, because I think we all know that as soon as Sunday arrives and there is a kitten, it will be very difficult to do anything! Excited!
