The sort of cold I'd been nursing yesterday reared its ugly head last night and this morning. I crashed early, but not before ensuring I just had enough steps. It was even worse this morning, but with rest and medication, I was able to pull myself together enough to join my team for lunch. I still feel pretty bad, but I think the worst is behind me.

Hopefully I will be able to get some of my extra points in this weekend. Washing my bike, possibly doing some volunteering, and I'm hoping to make up for my absense from the annual dinner with some board games with a team mate.

Today I am grateful for:

• Cold medicine (again)
• Finding that there are other series of books in the Viridian Gate Online universe. It is quite addictive
• Living in such a beautiful country
