All Will Be Revealed

Well, that's the mystery of my intense Monday-night insomnia solved, then – that cold I've been fighting off since Calgary has finally landed! On one hand, any cold is a bother, but on the other, it's not as bad as it could be, it gives me the excuse finally to have the congee at the local Hong Kong diner, and it more or less forces me to wade through the glacier of photos I took in New Zealand, as that's about all I'm up to, cognitively. So! You can look forward to some of those in the near future.

Meantime, I'm very grateful for the stockpile of NyQuil (and off-brand equivalents) amassed over the years from my and others' trips across the Atlantic – not only do I have more than enough to see me through the current trouble, but I got to give some to a friend who is suffering with The Real Thing. So a big thank you to the friends and family who have complied with my rather odd request when they ask if there's anything they can bring. It's worth so much more than all the Trader Joe's snacks put together.
