Ending the holidays on a positive note

I made it up to the very last holiday dinner of the month (a comprehensive affair, with various young cousins) before I was overtaken by some kind of upper respiratory tract infection. First it was chills (no one else was cold), then I briefly had a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, and eventually, my nose just became so congested I could barely sleep. Like, last night, I was up for about 3-4 hours (in the middle of the night) because I kept having to get up to blow my nose.

I took advantage of the opportunity to catch up on some old chapters of Gunnerkrigg Court, which I had read devotedly (about a decade ago) before it fell off my radar for reasons I can't explain. For some reason, I was lately thinking of it again. So I went back to some chapters that I dimly remember reading.

Of course, because of my cold, I still haven't started my Yuletide assignment. I'd only just scratched the surface of my canon review.
