Still alive!

Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and especially the lovely and generous
raitala! Am feeling considerably better after a mammoth post-class nap this afternoon and some food.
Watching the Olympics since it is pretty much the only non-dodgy cable movie channel in my hotel (where I can now receive my wireless signal with no issues, who can explain it?) and the only out gay man at the Olympics is currently second in his diving event. Fingers crossed!
And an Australian won the pole vault. How? What's happened, Russia? Still, a Norwegian just won the javelin, so
pingrid, your nation's cunning defence strategy is still on course.
At least I was able to teach my class today, but I missed the delicious dinner that a friend cooked for me (my other friends have raved about it). It was particularly annoying because this girl and her husband are new friends and I like them a great deal. And they have the World's Greatest Cat Run. Oh well, next time.
I have flown a thousand miles to sit in a hotel room and eat cheeseless pizza while watching the Olympics. Sigh. I might have a bath and make a real night of it!
ETA OMG! Matthew Mitcham, the only out gay man at the Olympics, WON THE GOLD in the men's 10m diving!!

They both missed seeing you too, and they both think you and J are fantastic.
