We went over to the Joneses' last night and said hi and played Munchkin Bites. I got to use the Special Bookmark™ that SJGames sent with something we ordered.

Throat's still sore, lymph nodes enormous. Achy and tired. If you are given the option to catch this bug, I recommend that you give it a pass.
