Roses and Shadows, originally uploaded by SingMyself.

After two days mostly in bed and on meds, I think the ear infection is on the retreat, but the chest/respiration aspect is still hanging in there. I still get out of breath pretty quickly, but on the upside, I’m getting a lot of reading done.

So far, I’ve read two novels and one shortish nonfiction book, and am through a good chunk of a wonderful biography of Alexander Hamilton. Tomorrow I’ve got final exams to grade, and Thursday I’ll be spending most of the day at school, but this little hiatus has been peaceful while it lasted.

Is it a little sad that I almost said I’ve enjoyed these past few days, despite the headaches and breathing issues? I think it’s clear that I’m ready to wrap up all these loose ends and finally close the book on this school year. I’m so close I can taste it.

Anyway, I thought a shortish, boringish update should at least have a pretty picture to accompany it!.
