sick-bed[1]I was either unconscious or reading in bed most of the day; what I though were allergies turned out to be a massive head cold.  I think the day of rest has really helped, though; from miserable yesterday I now feel pretty good, and should be able to get back to full function tomorrow.

The weekend was fun!  My mom came down to stay for a few days and we went to the Kansas City Zoo on Monday.  It was a great day for it, with mild temperatures and nice sunshine after the early fog burned off.  We toured “Africa”, where the animals were particularly active.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen the cheetahs running around as much as they did yesterday; they were chasing and wrestling each other like kittens!
