I feel a bit better and will go to work tomorrow. I'm taking ginger ale and saltines with me, and not eating anything solid until the weekend.

Sleeping for most of the day definitely helps...even better, Roomie called a mutual friend who brought ginger ale, saltines, ginger peach tea, and applesauce. So far I'm sticking to the saltines, but whatever works!

Beyond that, I've started an excellent book that I picked up at the conference: Wonderful Blood, by Carol Walker Bynum. It's about the spread of Holy Blood pilgrimages in Germany, and is absolutely *fascinating*, if somewhat gruesome. It also puts Mel Gibson's Jesus movie in perspective, since his portrayal of Jesus being beaten to a bloody pulp is squarely in this tradition.
