Wow, some virus put me down for about a day and a half. Feeling very weak but alert and on the mend. So I have to make up for some lost production time and return to my hobbies. With all the rain forecast in the next few days some time on woodworking is in the works.

I always feel this frustration after being sick that I’ve missed out on life. Like not stepping outside I’ve somehow missed a day in the life as the Beatles might say. At the same time, I have this appreciation for the health returning and how important it is to take care of myself.

So I’ll try to make up for lost time starting this evening. I slept half the day from being up all night.

One thing that bothered me was that I had hoped to go to the Howard County Fair on Monday and today. If there is a break in the weather in the next three days I’ll try to venture out.

So far this year I’ve felt pretty healthy. There are some ongoing concerns but I don’t have to worry about a check there for a few more months. I do have several other appointments but those are maintenance mostly like a physical and yearly dermatologist. Oh yeah my every 6 month cleaning of the choppers.

I feel so thankful for my health. My goal each year is to stay out of the hospital. I’m sure those who have been healthy all their lives are appreciative of it. But if you have a setback or face something challenging health is something you never again take for granted. A special appreciation for each day is instilled with a different perspective.

Well, back to work here and in other areas. Be well. The alternative sucks.
