Last night, actually yesterday afternoon, I started developing a sore throat. BY the evening I was light-headed, dizzy and my throat had begun to seriously hurt. I went to bed quite early, I’m guessing it was about 8:30. (My sweetie-wife and I had just finished watching Journey To The Far Side of The Sun. A quite silly film from 1969.) I got out of bed at 6 o’clock to call in sick and then went straight back there until about 9:30 a.m.

I spent most of the day drinking water and being thankful I did not have to speak. By the end of the day the throat had settled down to just scratchy and I was feeling tired but not light-headed or dizzy. I was able to get some writing work done. Finished a new scene for Love and Loyalty inspired by some of the feedback at the luncheon and edited a short story that was very well received at my writers group on Monday night. Once both has been proofed by my sweetie-wife I will see about using them. The short story I intended to submit to Asimov’s SF Magazine.
