Recovering From the Flu

 

If you read my last post, then you know I was getting all productive with things at long last. I’d even committed to doing a weekly blog post. Everything was great. I was excited. I was making progress daily. I . . .

I came down with the flu.

Yeah, so obviously no big blog post last week as I was on the couch too tired to do anything except sleep. I was also on target to get a new story out last week. None of that happened.

The flu bug totally took me down.

I am finally feeling better and trying to get back into things. In my part of the world, we went through extreme cold temperatures the last several days, which did nothing to help with my sudden stop in productivity.

Right now I need to re-orient myself with where I was at on my up coming story and remind myself of what needs done yet. It’s just often a struggle to get back to work after being knocked down like I was. It has been some time since I contracted the flu this bad.

I should have this story out before the end of this month. This was not the schedule I was hoping for. It is depressing that every time I feel as though I have things figured out, at least in some small way, something comes along and derails me. I guess that is life and I should be used to it by now, but I’m not sure that is something one ever gets used to. Right now, I’m remaining optimistic that I’ll pull things back together, but it’s an uphill battle to do so.

I’m glad I’m getting better and stronger. Hopefully, in a few more days, I’ll be back at full steam again. I’ve got some brain fog going on from it, but that too seems to be improving.

The weather has improved slightly and once my lingering cough is gone, hopefully I will be healthy again. Sometimes it’s just hard to get back into things when something like this happens.

So there you have it, a quick update on what happened and why there was no blog post last week, or the story I’d planned to release last week. As of now, I still plan on blogging weekly, and I hope to get this story out before the end of January.
