bite the bullets

Here I am.

Things you might like to know:

• Birthday weekend is complete. My 2-year-old niece is certifiably insane and repeats everything over and over and it’s equal parts endearing and annoying in the funny way. I have a sweet new Scrabble game.
• The sick won’t let me go. Every time I have a good day, the next day has some new ailment: maybe a little nausea or dizziness, maybe a headache. GO AWAY, SICK.
• I’m backed up on schoolwork, for sure.
• I learned things over the weekend on cable TV about trepanation and phrenology and football and stuff.
• I don’t know what to do with the rest of my afternoon home sick.
