I'm sorry you're feeling sub-par!

And I love your posts whenever you can manage them.

[gwydion]

That's kind of you.

[amaebi]

To the tiny extent that it takes a small effort to utter the praise I think and feel, I guess. But mostly it's so good of you to provide this public service. I appreciate it so much.
