So in preparing to get started on the ORSSP, I got a horrible head cold which has left me exhausted and in a foul mood. No, wait, those two things don’t really have anything to do with one another. Except for my intentions of having the story done by Valentine’s Day being derailed by being sick, which no doubt adds to the bad mood.
