Going away on vacation means a hole in your schedule that will take some time to retroactively fill back up.  Starting to lose some of my many threads here, but I’ll do what I can.  Lingering sickness doesn’t help.  It occurred to me that an appropriate curse of sickness in a fantasy story could be someone continually coughing and having to hawk up sparrows or mice.  I just wonder what I’ve done to merit the curse, myself.
