Notes from Quarantine

[lawnrrd]

Our recoveries continue, however slowly. We are all still tired, and we ache. Although none of us has trouble keeping food down any more, and my appetite is recovering, food has little flavor.

Each day brings improvement, though. Tomorrow, I expect to be strong enough to leave our shelter and search for other survivors go to work, although I don't know how much I'll really get done. I didn't really have this time to lose, though, especially since my boss and I had tentative plans to go to Washington, D.C., mid-week to "discuss" some matters with some of the more troublesome patent examiners we've been dealing with. (English, motherfucker, do you speak it?) And I really don't want to leave too much hanging when we take our vacation in about 10 days.
