Ciro has been struggling for a few days with what seemed like an allergic reaction - suddenly sore throat followed by itchy eyes followed by sinus headache and residual congestion - with the complication that he's never in his life had an allergy to anything and wasn't exposed to anything unusual beforehand.

(If this was film instead of text, I would have just whirled around in my chair and the camera would have smash zoomed to my face. There might have been a gavel sound anticipating the cut to the next scene - or hand drums, walking bass, and a bleating trumpet beginning a credits sequence done up in silhouette. I am sad sometimes that my life isn't a '60s television action series, I won't lie.)
In any case, a sore throat is kind of miserable when you vocalize professionally. At least I know from Ciro's trailblazing that it should leave my throat sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, there is aspirin. Also, Val is in town and brought me cake and some kind of Chinese date fruit.
