I still feel shitty and also had a low grade fever, so I called out today (though I did staff a meeting at 4 pm and felt miserable the whole time), and slept for most of the day. I feel like I could sleep some more, but I'm afraid that when I get in bed to sleep for the night, I will not sleep at all. I guess we'll see. I may call out again tomorrow, though this time I will have to remember to put on an out of office email. Whoops.

Anyway, while I was awake, I finished TTT and started RotK. I have to say, it's been so long since I'd read the books (10 or 12 years, I think), that I forgot that Sam actually namechecks both the Silmarils and Earendil when he's talking about the Phial and that they're still in the same story. Oh Sam.
