(we're) still fighting it

The cold, that is. I have a cold sore that feels like it's taking over my face like some alien from a bad 80's movie. Congestion is abating, though, and I'm feeling like I might actually be able to exercise and/or leave the house tomorrow, my last day of winter vacation. I spent the bulk of today reading Steve Martin's new novel, An Object of Beauty. It's extremely well-written and lovely overall. When I purchased it (yes, I know, not supposed to be buying books, but I got a gift card for Christmas), I was struck by the fact that it's printed on such high-quality paper. I've discovered that it's for a reason - the book revolves around the art world and has a number of photographs of paintings in the book. It's making me wish, once again, that I'd delved deeper into art history than my one class. I did also work on the teen's sweater, fulfilling my obligation to create something everyday, which was my biggest resolution but the one I didn't put in writing yesterday because I'm so sadly sure I'll fail. I'll eventually post pictures, but now, I'm having one more glass of wine and considering bed.
