Review

So I've spent the entire day in bed until now.  I am the third in our family to get the summer cold/flu, and let me tell ya, it's no fun.

I've never been the best patient, and even though I tend to think that men are the wimps when it comes to illness, today I took pathetic to a new low... or high, depending on how you look at it.

The problem is I can't shut my brain off when I'm laying there all day.  It's like my mind can't even have a sick day with the rest of me.  No, no, I have to lay there and think about what needs fixing, what's working, and what I'm going to do in my next scene.  All day I've been wanting to write, and finally I feel okay enough to at least sit upright.

I even took the time to figure out there is 45 days till my 45th birthday.  How's that for over-thinking things?  Not to mention this past week we've had to fill out self-evaluations at work.  I mean, do you fill them out and make yourself awesome or play it low key and hope they don't agree with your ratings?  It's tricky, and I've often thought the world would be a better place if we had to fill these things out for not just work, but life too.

Would you live differently if you knew that every summer you had to review how your year was going?  Its kind of like evaluating if you're sticking to your new year's commitments, and if you're not what are you gong to do about it?  And to answer your question, yes I did a self-review and found myself thrilled with some things and disappointed with others.  Story of my life.

So as the rain comes down again, and another week has passed that I didn't run, I sit here and wonder how I'm going to make the next 45 days count.

See why I hate being sick?

Please tell me you had a better day... and pray that tomorrow I feel better.
