I have developed a really good cold, and that means a really bad cold. It hasn't kept me from doing my work, but it has required some time to stop and rest along the way. As I sit here typing I actually feel worse than I have all day. And I notice my fatigue now much more as well. At least I can still weather my long commute and get something done without having to venture out into the world. Today Sheila helped out Sharon by driving Linzi to her counseling so she did my errand to Sharon's as well and kept me from having to venture out in this frigid winter weather. I get cold just sitting in my office, so I'm glad that I don't have to go out anywhere else.
I like being busy, but usually I get things done and I am able to get to other tasks which are piling up on my desk. But yesterday, and today and probable tomorrow I will have all that I can do to just get the 'timely' stuff done. It makes me feel quite overwhelmed to realize that there is so much I have to do, and so little time to get it all done. I know that all of you probably feel the same way. I remember times when work was slower then it is right now and I had to find things to do so I would feel busy and productive. But right now that is not a problem. We had fallen so far behind that it is only playing catch up and I will need several more days, if not weeks of this same stuff to get where we would like to be. I'm not sure that it will happen. I hope that it does. I was never one to think much about retirement. So now that I really can't think about it I wish that I could. But there's no feeling sorry for myself. What we have is a lot better then a poke in the eye with a sharp stick so I will not complain (much).
