Thanks. The semester has started, but more or less without me. I'm not actually teaching this term, and while I do have seminars I'm sitting in on (medieval language/logic + contemporary philosophy of religion), that's somewhat optional. Mostly I'm working up a dissertation proposal. In theory, when my head isn't swimming. ;-)

I am drinking lots of water and herbal tea, and later I will heat up some miso soup - better than chicken noodle at clearing the sinuses IMO.
