I have been fighting the flu, which, I should add, legitimately beat me up this time, since Sunday afternoon.
Instead of thinking about how I feel now, I’d rather think about how I’ll feel in the future.
Last night I had a good night’s sleep, and now that it’s 11 in the morning, I’m back at work. I think I’ll take another afternoon off to rest and then get back together with my bandmate tomorrow to practice a few songs and get things rolling again. Even though my coworker and I wrote a funny song about our jobs that included lyrics about heating and air conditioning coils and space heaters, I don’t think my voice is up to it this week. This week, after I finish my afternoon tasks, I plan to head back to the beach in the evening to relax and catch up with old friends. I was supposed to start working at the cooling corp. on Monday, but I got sick with that nasty flu on Monday night, right before I was supposed to start scrubbing some ductwork for a client. I had to leave the assignment and promised the shopper I’d be back the following afternoon, but I never made it back because I came down with the flu that night. My sinuses have been a little stuffy this week, but I think a round in the neti pot will clear them right up, so I’m going to do that as soon as I finish this article. I’m about to clean the filter in the heater.
