I had a good run. I should be thankful. I made it through the whole summer without getting sick. But last weekend, it caught up to me.

Tammy and I drove to Amarillo to celebrate her granddad’s 90th birthday (and spend some quality time with her fam). While there, I started feeling really weird. We blamed the dry climate and that’s probably at least partly true. But by the time we got home, I was full on icky.

I worked from home on Monday, rather than risk spreading the ick. But Tuesday, I was just plain sick. I slept most of the day and finally managed a full night sleep. All that sleep left me feeling strong and rested this morning, so I’m in the office. That may have been premature, though, as I’m still showing a lot of symptoms. I probably won’t stay all day.
