Apparently that knot in my stomach wasn't just from stress. I was up all last night sick, and I swear I've never actually felt my stomach muscles quiver in quite that way, before. I'm assuming it was caused by the lobster (!) that my neighbors/landlords made for dinner last night... but damn. Not much fun. I still don't feel much like eating anything, this morning.

I have, however, pretty much finished the syllabus and I think it's improved over last time I taught this. I need more time to rework the whole thing (readings, assignments, etc.), but that time is not now.
