Winter vacation, for what's passed so far, has turned out to be less than spectacular. I came down with a persistent cough last week, which kept me indoors for just over seven days. It all started as a slight headache, though. I can say it's pretty much gone now, which I am grateful for as I've been itching to get back out on the streets of Portland (which I did this past Wednesday night and will do a lot this weekend!). I look forward to staying this way of being health for a long while now, after this.
