I'm just waiting for a brief firechat at half-ten, but I will come up thereafter, as I would indeed like to sort out what is going on. It has been an unpleasant day for the symptoms.

To answer your other questions briefly:

Bedbugs, really? I do hope that is not actually a common problem. Or else the habits of the house-elves here need a great deal of attention indeed.

As to diet, I suppose that is possible. You are quite right that the amount of transfigured food at the staff table is suprising to me, though I generally limit myself to the better ingredients.

I've not purchased new garments since the end of the summer, and the sheets on my bed are my own, from my own little house south of New London. Nor have I received any particular gifts. I've started to see a few coming in - it is that time of year, of course - but they all are quite ordinary baskets from widely used businesses. Nothing as yet unusual or even unexpected.

Ah, well. I am glad you have come to some sort of balance with the demands of your position. I must say it's quite a challenge to adapt, myself. There always seems to be one more conversation to have.
