Wow, has it really been almost a month since I last blogged? Yikes. But yes, I am still alive (though I can’t say the same for my laptop, which would be one of the reasons it’s been so long :P).
The past month has been busy. Very, very busy, and now that I look back on it, not many truly noteworthy things happened. I’ve been working a lot, and unfortunately haven’t even had time for basic things like reading and working on my novel.
Which brings me to the title of this post, and the only reason I actually have time to write a blog post today: the flu.
Yup. It’s the flu, complete with constant coughing, a headache, lightheadedness, and a fever.
Like anyone, I hate being sick, especially when it cancels my plans. I was supposed to be at the bookstore today, but I woke up with the same fever I’ve been running since yesterday morning. I wanted to go to quiz practice tonight, but research informed me that the flu is highly contagious.
In spite of that, though, I have to admit that being able to take a break is kinda nice. My life has gotten pretty crazy lately, and being forced to let go of some of the pressure the last couple days definitely hasn’t been a bad thing.
Who knows, I might actually have time to work on my novel this afternoon and finish that book I got from the library.
Being sick definitely isn’t a picnic, and I do wish I could be working today and hanging out with my friends at practice. But I think God knows that sometimes, we just need a break. And when I can’t afford to take a break, He makes the decision easy.
So anyway. Hopefully I’ll be up and about again soon and doing noteworthy things to blog about 😉 To everyone reading this, stay healthy! I’ll be back with another post soon 🙂
