the germs of 578 high schoolers have gotten to me and i've got a cold.  sigh.  this was bound to happen right about now...  ruby is at the boarding place because i have a 7:40am INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT UGH I HAVE TO BE AT THE AIRPORT 2 HOURS BEFOREHAND flight tomorrow to canada for a conference (!) and that plus the cold means that i just might go to sleep in the next half hour.  do not judge me.
