A Writer's Notebook, One-Thousand-Eight-Hundred-And-Seventy-Seven

Well, I caught whatever it is that Melissa came down with.  It doesn't seem to be covid (we have both tested).  Right now, I am all congested, but my main symptoms have been aches and chills.  I slept most of the day.  I am hoping that I will feel at least a bit better tomorrow, though it is clear we won't be going out to celebrate on my birthday.
