Well, maybe all the coughing was purging all the evil spirits ready for a new, puritanical year of greatness...?

Lemme finish first. Sorry again.

I like this idea of commenting before reading, reading, then re-commenting. Delightfully inefficient! haha But yeah, I don't really take such things so seriously. Even my posts which are deeply personal or negative, I'm not suffering or in a bad mood as I write it. Feels more matter-of-fact to me. So no sorry's necessary! Just glad you enjoyed the read =D

I hope you get well fast.

The cough and throat pain is still here but it's evolving each day to something unpleasant in a slightly different way but equally crappy. If I don't die from a sore throat as is most likely, I promise I'll come back stronger!
