Sorry about the silence on the blog for the past while. Elissa brought me home a gift: a wonderful head cold (or perhaps flu, we've not figured it out yet). My sore throat can be worked around by not talking, but the really hard part to deal with has been the distractions. I'll be chugging along on a project, and every few minutes my mind drifts off into wondering when my throat will stop hurting. And then I sneezed. Oh dear god, that was excruciating.
So yeah, I hope to have some interesting posts up in the future (before I go on vacation in a week). But we'll see if the health gods conspire against me or not!
I know I'm sick when I can't sit and program for hours either. It must be par for the course.
I'll never forget my first true vacation from my first job. It was the first time I had a whole week off paid, and it was in the middle of summer. Monday morning came, I woke up to an awful cold/sneezy flu, and was on the couch for the whole week. In a lucky kind of way I didn't have any money to go on a trip, I was just going to hang out and do whatever I did back then, so there were no plans to cancel and lose money on. My mother said that was my body's way of figuring out it was allowed to be ill since I was no longer working part time retail where not working meant not getting paid. In it's own weird way that made sense.
I hope you feel better. Summertime illnesses are a total drag!
Get better soon. Your blog is always a treasure. (But get better for your sake, not your blogs.)
