The Gradually Improving Cold

My cold is gradually getting better. Not nearly as quickly as I'd like, but better. I will decide at some point whether I'm feeling well enough to go to tomorrow's Windycon meeting. In any case, I'm taking the day off work, because it's that or stop accruing vacation.

In other news, the tree is finally decorated and the ornament boxes are back in the basement. The bottom tier of branches is naked, because we don't yet trust Ruby not to surf all of the ornaments off the tree as playthings. We'll see how it goes.
