This week’s kind of been a blur. I was sick last weekend, and still kind of am, only I’m taking a seriously high dose of prescribed of antibiotics to wipe out whateve infection has lodged itself in my skull and respiratory system for the last month or so. It’s like “scour the cities and salt the earth” strong, and it’s making me a little fuzzy as I work through the course, but in the end, I think it’s going to be worth it.

I’m kind of on my last nerve, not the least of which because while work has been getting done at the office, my building has been populated by lots of people all week (this is the kind of thing I do because it justifies my having it – when my team’s not here, I can lend it out to other folks for working sessions and training), mostly nice people (except for one asshole who I hate dealing with), but it’s been louder than normal, and it broke my routine.

I’ve been short-tempered when I haven’t been dead tired. It’s not been great. Apologies to any and all that have to deal with me.,/p>

Oh, and I have to be a good host and an entertaining and engaging game master this weekend, as my annual charity auction Dinner and Dungeons and Dragons event happens tomorrow. I normally really look forward to this, as we always have a lot of fun, but I honestly hope I’m up for it, and I give my guests their money’s worth of entertainment and comestibles (including the traditional bacon explosion). The game’s solid – we playtested it last weekend, and it’s a good balance of fun, silly, and challenging. I just hope I can bring the fun.

The rest of the weekend up until around 3pm tomorrow, though, is going to be a whirlwind of getting my house clean and getting the food made.

Oh, South Carolina Democrats vote tomorrow. I’ve been predicting things. Here’s my call for SC: Clinton’s going to do well, beating Sanders by around 15% percent; he’s been balancing expectations, though I think he’ll do a little better than conventional wisdom. Not *much* better, but he’s gonna beat the spread.

Super Tuesday next week’s going to really tell the tale – I’m not sure how it’s going to go (I’m not even sure which states are on the list), though I k now I’ll be voting, and making sure all my friends and neighbors do here in Virginia, which I think is going to look good for Sanders (his big event in Norfolk this week had more headlines than Bill Clinton coming to Richmond…that says something).

no music this week. I’m just enjoying the quiet right now.
