Health... or rather the lack of it *sighs*

[wiseheart]

Annual cold has arrived on Wednesday evening. It's not so bad (yet), just a sore throath and considerable - albeit not complete - loss of voice, with a pinch of coughing. I'm on the way to the stuffed nose level. Not enough to stay home sick, just enough to make work unpleasant. Ah, well, it's the same every year.

OTOH, I went to the optician with Mum on Thursday - the usual control check - and our eyes still function on the same level they did half a year ago. Well, Mum's. Mine function like they did two and a half years ago. Yeah, I've been lash with my eye check, which is irresponsible, but going to the doctor is aways such a bother.

In any case, eyes checked out OK, and about that I'm greatly relieved. With all this staring at the computer screen, there was a solid possibility that my eyesight would be influenced. Luckily, it isn't so.

My baking progress is going on well (check out the pinned entry above). It smells like in a pastry cook's workshop in our flat. :)

My thoughts exactly. And a winter cold is just a winter cold - unpleasant, but not life-threatening.

It's good to hear from you again; how are you faring?

Quite well, thank you! I've just finished a translation and am ready to embark on the next one. Larissa's doing excellently in Leiden, where she's studying History. Valerie will return from a three months stay in Liverpool in a couple of weeks; it will be good to have her home for Christmas.

Oh, I'm glad to hear the good news! I wish you - all three of you - very happy, joyful Christmas!

And the same to you and your mother, delicious Christmas bakings included!
