ACHOO! Just an Update

I am ill and have been so for a couple days now, so I won't be writing as much as I usually do until I start feeling better.

Ay! I hope you feel better soon.

Best wishes on speedily exorcising the bug.

Get well soon.

Sorry to hear that. I'm thinking of you too and sending good health vibes your way. If it's a cold, I recommend lots and lots of hot mint tea, green mint tea if you can get it. I've found it beneficial to the point where I actually keep it in the house.
