A Coating of Throat Pain and Swollen Glands

I was off work all last week.  I spent most of my time dedicated to LINKS in spite of a sore throat and ear pain.  It always seems to work that way.  You get sick when you don't have to work.  Tim and I have been working on a new website for Roehampton LINKS that combines the info of about 3 different sites into one, and it's superior for regular member access to any of the other sites.  Of course Tim is doing the complicated coding based on my outline.  It probably would have been far easier to just hire someone.  It's taken a lot of time and Tim and I don't really speak the same language when he's talking techy stuff.  But it's progressing fast so hopefully the project will be done in a week or so.

Our friend, Ashley, came to visit over the weekend.  He used to go to Kings College.  He was the chair of Kings LINKS unit when Tim was chair.  He's going to med school in Cornwall now.  He kept telling us that if we visit in summer we can go surfing and sailing.  That sounds like a lot of fun.  Sadly I got kind of sick while he was here.  My voice started to go out Friday night.  I got some cold medicine Saturday, but whenever I took it I felt feverish.  That was a pain.  I feel better now, but my voice is still really off.  Now if only I can stop coughing long enough to get some sleep.  I bought UK "original" Monopoly Sunday and Ashley and I made Tim play with us only to lose to him horribly.  Must be beginner's luck.  The first time Tim played poker he won also.  Although I think that was because he didn't understand the concept of bluffing and folding.  Apparently, the "original" monopoly in the UK isn't the same as ours.  It's got places in London most of which I don't recognize.

I'm playing indoor softball this Saturday.  This time if someone slides I'm jumping out of the way whether I can get them out or not.  I'm not risking another serious injury this close to spring softball.  We're planning a small movie night Saturday night with Alex and probably Liam.
