I spent most of the week fighting a cold — not feeling sick enough to not work, but also struggling with keeping my voice, with finding times in between meetings to blow my nose again, and consuming what felt like gallons of herbal tea — which my body insisted on converting directly into mucus.
Do not recommend.

I spent a good chunk of the week down in the Bay Area, for a couple work meetings — managed to see pretty much exactly nothing other than the inside of a conference room and the inside of a hotel room, but I did get to meet my entire team for the first time, and we got a little bit of time Wednesday afternoon to have our first real in-person team hangout, which was cool.
Flew down Monday, came back Thursday, then took Friday off recover and to to hang out with Mx19 for a little bit before they headed back to college very early Saturday morning — managing to get in and get back to their dorm in advance of the foot of snow they were predicted to get on Sunday.
