So, last night, at about 2 a.m., I finally succumbed to the awful bug that is making its way through my office.

That's right: I had a seriously runny nose.

I took some cold medicine, and sat in front of the computer for a good (relatively speaking) two hours before it finally had enough effect on me that I would be able to lay down again. Of course, by that time, I only had one hour until my alarm was to go off. No matter. I needed more rest, so back to bed I went. For 90 minutes.

And then I woke up, got ready for work, and drove the nearly 30 miles to my job.

Today was deadline day.

And 12 hours after I departed, I returned, a little more tired than I was when I left, but minus the runny nose.

Tonight, I think I'll take the cold medicine as a preventive measure. I don't want to know what 3 a.m. looks like. I've been there, and it ain't pretty.
