I&#8217;ve missed 3 days of work and have watched all the television. Yes, all of it. And for me to stay inside and do nothing is nearly impossible. I have my little &#8220;recuperation station&#8221; set up in the living room, with my laptop open to my work email and buckets of tea, vitamins, and tissues surrounding me.

I wait not-so-patiently each week for a new episode of Downton Abbey, and am horrified that I can&#8217;t watch Sherlock until May. Sometimes I meet new people and it makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p>This is winter in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This winter has been a strange mix of busy\/quiet.
