It's been a long week. Last Sunday I started to come down with symptoms of the flu. Classic symptoms. High fever, chills, aches and pains, cough, a gurgle coming from the chest when I breath out here and there, feeling run down. So this week I've been spending time basically doing a few things:
- Sleeping
- Being a pain in the ass to Richelle
- Over-sharing on Twitter and Facebook
- Trying to answer email from work whenever awake.
- Watching Babylon 5's first season for the first time.
- Reading Logicomix
- Watching the Phillies take the National League Championship and move on to the World Series!
Along the way I've had time to reflect on how blessed I am. Sure, this flu came down during a very, very bad week - things are running tight on a project I'm part of at work and I feel like my body has let people down. But then again, I haven't caught the flu in years. I guess I was due. The problem is - it comes on the tail end of a nasty cold. So I haven't been running 100% for over a month. A crucial month.
I'll be heading back to work soon (if not Monday, then very close to that), and I know it will be a challenge. But it has to be better than the throbbing in my head that I feel even now, a week after coming down with this thing.
