An Atypical Life

The past two weeks, I have been sick – fever, congestion, barotrauma due to plane flight with aforementioned fever and congestion, coughing, laryngitis…it’s been lingering longer than it’s needed to. I am mostly recovered but still sniffly/coughy/post nasal drippy, and my head still feels like it’s full of cotton. No, I haven’t seen a doctor; what is he going to do other than tell me to get more rest?

I am stressed and overcommitted with work, school, programming projects, home construction, home garden, my feline companion, and preparation for conference presentations. I think this is the real cause of my illness.

I’m also committed to travel for the next 3-4 weeks.

I need to ease up on myself; I don’t see that happening anytime soon. :(
