Trying To Get Unstuck
I haven't blogged since last Tuesday - an eternity for someone who is used to writing every day. What happened? I got sick and then there was a holiday - that's what happened.

Last Monday I was feeling all sorts of weird while at work, but chalked it up to being in a new office and not feeling settled in. However, when I woke up after napping on the train ride home that night, I felt like crap. I could tell I had a fever. Sure enough, that night I sweated my way through a 100+ degree temperature most of the night. I felt bad enough in the morning that I decided to stay home from work.

I was able to did a few things while home sick, but not a whole lot. My fever morphed into an upset stomach, which then dogged me from the late evening until well into Wednesday. There was one particularly bad stretch from 3am until 8am.

Luckily, I got myself about 80% back in time for Thanksgiving. I thought I was even better than that until I ate a fantastic meal at my Dad's house. Didn't feel too good after that - but not because of the food. Everything tasted great. My stomach just wasn't ready to get bombarded like that so soon after being sick. By Early evening on Friday I finally seemed back on my feet completely and ready to role.

The weekend was filled up with getting the Ultimate Christmas Tree decorated, getting some lights up outside, doing some other Christmas decorating and general house cleaning chores. Heather got out and did some shopping for Christmas. Net-net, didn't make any time for blogging once I was feeling well enough to sit in front of a computer.

So now it's Monday, November 28 and I'm trying to get myself back into writing. I find when I'm off for an extended period of time the writing channels tend to get a little clogged and exercises like this one tend to open things up. So hopefully the new posts should start flowing again.
