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

This bug just won't let go.  I keep hoping to feel better the next day, and I guess that I have been improving slightly, but not enough for it to feel like I am really on the mend yet.  I am trying to remain hopeful about tomorrow being the day, but I am unconvinced.  The way I feel tonight, I would be rather surprised if I did feel that much improved in the morning.
