Well, I made my deadlines. Every single one of them. I was even early for some of them.

And then I got sick. Raise your hand if you're surprised. Yeah, me neither.

Another day of convalescing and then it's back to the daily grind.

I have the feeling that I'm at the beginning of something new, as if I'm discovering a new thing, but I think mostly it's rediscovery. And it's a very good feeling.

I've made some decisions over the past few weeks. In a sense, some of them were already made long, long ago, but the realization and acceptance of these decisions has just truly surfaced.

So I'm back, at least for a bit. Except more fleshing out of the above comments at a later time. Right now I have to send a package that I was going to send a month ago and then so many things happened and I haven't made it to the shipping store. But I'm better now. I wasn't well for a really long time; it's good to actually feel alive and like a real person again. It's good to be able to function again and do the everyday things I need to do and want to do.
