Sick, Not Sick

I hadn’t written much since last week. It wasn’t due to a lack of desire. I was sick last week. Nothing major. Just your average, typical, run-of-the-mill cold. I don’t get sick often, but when I do, I usually overreact to it and it probably lingers more than it should. I hate being sick, so obviously, I don’t adjust to it very well. As I write this, I’m mostly back to normal. You can thank DayQuil and NyQuil for that. I had also made it a point to continuously pop cough drops left and right. I had developed a cough that damn near demanded that I do whatever I could to keep my throat moist. Dry throat leads to coughing fits and those can be so draining, so if it means finishing an entire bag of Ricola, then so be it.

I managed to work most of last week with this damn cold. This cold also made me recall that when I’m sick, my threshold for nonsense and bullshit is that much lower. This means that I worked even harder to stay away from those people at work who annoy me the most. I want to say that I did a decent enough job of it. The bad thing is that even though I’m feeling better, those annoying people at work are still there. Seems like the victories for me are far and few between.

There hasn’t been much going on elsewhere really.

I’m still doing those ridiculous amounts of overtime. I’m still getting up early as hell in the morning. It had gotten much colder of late, which I figure given the time of year, that’s all pretty normal. I like it. I will always take the cold over the warm temperatures we normally get around these parts during much of the year.

Gaming has been kind of slow, which around this time of year, is also typical. My backlog is ridiculous. I have already convinced myself that I’ll never catch up and that as time progresses, that backlog is only going to grow. I’m currently playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Legend Bowl, and Street Fighter 6. I still need to play Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Robocop: Rogue City. I’ll get to them at some point.

I don’t know where I was going with any of this. I think I’m just trying to type whatever comes to mind, being that I haven’t written anything in over a week. I’m trying to get my fingers nimble and re-acclimated to the whole writing thing again.

I don’t know why I feel so out of it, as far as writing. It’s amazing to see how a week without writing in here has impacted me in such a weird way. I’ll get back into the swing of things soon enough. I’m hoping to get back into my normal writing as soon as tomorrow.

It’s time to get motivated again. I’ll get there soon enough.
