Work was a very long day today. In at 5:30am for an experiment and then I taught a class from 5-7pm. The class was small but on Cardiovascular Physiology for an ExPhys group so it was a good discussion. Didn't like the nearly 14 hr day though... Still not 100%. Realize I've been whining a bit too much about the blisters and

being sick, sorry for that. The blisters are healing about as quickly as

they appeared and the cold is moving in the right direction but does

have me a little foggy and sluggish. We'll see what I do tomorrow. Planned on 6 on the treadmill but didn't want to push my

luck.
