I'm glad you took work off, one part of being ill that has always astounded me is how much paperwork, phonecalls, appointments, and scheduling is involved. How can a person navigate that on the best days? Much less the worst.

Please report on the Valdemar book, I've been eyeing it since like every good thirteen year old I imprinted on the series. I've found the quality of Lackey's ghost writers to be...variable. Interested to see what you think.
