I was coughing hard enough to worry me last night; it started too late for me to reach my doctor's office then, so I called this morning. I now have an appointment for tomorrow early afternoon (which, as a side effect, means I'm postponing my dental appointment again--do I get extra grownup points for rescheduling now rather than letting it slide?), and no specific plans for today.
porcinea, who emailed me a couple of days ago to suggest tea, is entirely sympathetic, and wants me to take care of my lungs.
roadnotes, I would still like to come visit you this weekend, though I may spend the entire time draped over a chair drinking tea. I also still hope to see
elisem, on her way through town on her grand Expotition.

While it is good to have reference books, I don't really need to be going through dusty bits of my memory for -μι verbs while half asleep, even if someone did ask what the verb form of "hierophant" would be.
But if I'm going to do so, ειμι (I am) is an odd one to be working on. As far as I know, "be" is irregular in every natural language (and in English is not only irregular but "defective", having picked up forms from three distinct roots, as did both the Greek and Latin verbs for "carry," "fero" (it's basically the same in Greek, so I'll save myself typing the HTML entities)). [Does anyone know HTML coding that would indicate a smooth breathing over that ει?]Though, despite being the same present-tense form, they each acquired different past and future forms.
[I may delete this by tomorrow]
