When you don’t have a cold, you forget how soul-crushingly awful the feeling is.  And which feels worse on your tender, abused nose:  regular Kleenex, which may as well still have the bark on it, or Puffs with lotion, which sounds better in theory but feels like you’re rubbing the Gulf of Mexico across your notstrils.

(Current-event-tragedy worked into self-indulgent moping, huzzah!)

I need to get some actual “work” accomplished so that I can go home and creep back under the covers, but instead I’m sitting here staring at the first page of a document I’m supposed to be revising and thinking about what a goofy word “joinder” is. Joinder. Joinder joinder joinder.  See?
