It's not N1H1, It's a Cold

I've been sick. It's not N1H1 but it's a cold that has been hanging around for weeks and my energy level is at about 50%. I'm slowly starting to feel better. Slowly.

Writing keeps my head from filling up with all those "you should be doing this" or "you should be doing that" type of thoughts. It can be a challenge some times...
