Not feeling tip-top yet. “Working” from home.
Owie.
If you you didn’t already hear, I came down with a bit of the appendicitis. I came down with it in earnest on Thursday following sushi-Wednesday, so obviously I falsely accused Miki of poisoning me. So, sorry about that Miki, you are delicious and clean as always. Anyway, I was in some pain so I thought I should head over to the University Health Service to get checked out. As I was...
