On Sickness and Budgetary Concerns

Being sick is horrible.  When I was a kid, I used to envy adults who were home sick because they didn’t have homework due tomorrow.  They could just walk away from that job thing, and relax.. focusing on getting well.

My problem with being sick as with being on vacation, is that far too much time is available to haphazardly think about Life As it Is.  Considering the physical state of your body, this may not be the most appropriate time to examine where you may be in life right now.

It’s probably the fever that has you thinking that certain parts of life have passed you by, never to return.   The great thing about the past is that in the present we have the ability to transform it into something graceful and beautiful or horribly unforgiving.   The present and its reality nuances leave so much less open for interpretation.

Then the healing starts though, and a reminder that yes, there are some magical things left in the world, including the body’s ability to heal and repair itself over time.

So I’m feeling better anyway and back at work. If I can nail down one full night of sleep, I’ll be on the right road. 

I made the decision to have all business expenses from the new gig sent to my far away savings account during those first few optimistic days of employment. 

That decision’s seed netted a nice healthy ManageFusion check that I really could have used this pay period.   I’ll survive though without it, and this makes me happy.

My disaster recovery simulation’s almost completed, so I reckon I should get pack to focusing on the important stuff.

I’ll post over the weekend, hopefully with a complete bedroom and den wood floor.
