As the pendulum swings

I'm feeling a lot better now, incidentally. I mean, I have felt bad all fall. I wasn't kidding about that. But it'll be fine. Most of the problems plaguing me this week have been resolved, so onward and upward and all that. I'll also say that I have exceedingly supportive and generous friends, without whom I would be a broken shell of a man. (For evidence, see: freshman year of college.)
