They say marriage is about sharing and apparently that applies to sinus infections as well. Alex had one earlier this week and had to miss work for 3 days, and this weekend was my turn. I’m miserable. To top it off, my left eye is so swollen it looks like someone gave me a shiner. And tomorrow I have to go to a new writing workshop to discuss one of my stories, which is about–you guessed it–a battered woman. Insert your own joke here. If you’ve written me email or sent me IMs, I’m sorry for not responding. I’m woefully behind on my correspondence and hope to catch up when I feel better.
