Almost back to normal. I didn't even sleep sitting up last night and I think I got a better sleep because of it. That sounds logical, doesn't it? I have been propped up against one of those bed pillows where you can sit up in bed. I use it for reading in bed but when slumped down against it, with a pillow against the small of my back, it's actually not that uncomfortable to sleep, especially if lying down causes me to cough. At least I can sleep though I think probably it's not a "good" sleep. This cold is really going around though. The woman in the apartment over me has it too. I can hear her coughing at night! Yes, the walls are thin in our building.

Expecting a miserable storm tomorrow, starting with rain in the morning and changing to heavy snow later. Ick... Will have to get to work and hope that either it's not too bad to get home or they let us go home early before the busses stop. I don't want to waste a vacation day. I've done that before, in anticipation of the weather and the weather ended up not being too bad at all. THey won't let us work from home though they don't mind if we have to implement a change from home at night or on the weekend.  (don't get me started)

I've been making arrangements for the trip to the UK. Got an airport hotel booked. Got the train ticket from Euston to Manchester. I need to book a hotel in Ipswich for when we're visiting his family and book a rental car. I think we'll end up driving the rental to Ipswich which is far more convenient than hauling luggage and guitars on the train. I'll have to do a comparison on the rental companies because dropping off at a different location incurs a fee and from what i've seen so far, how much it is varies quite a bit from one company to the next. I must also see if my nephew can get a corporate rate code (even if he doesn't work at his former company anymore. You never know. It doesn't cost to ask!)
