Guarded optimism

This illness usually gets worse at night but tonight I'm feeling much better than last night, so I embrace a guarded optimism that relief may actually be in my near future. At any rate, school goes on and tomorrow I pick up their drafts for the last time, the final projects due next week. This makes Wednesday a very heavy day of reading and evaluating and giving last minute advice. Health, obviously, would make the day easier. We'll see.
