State of the Blog: Week 9: Blog Fail Week

I'm fucking tired today. I could go right back to sleep right fucking now. I'm considering it very seriously. The cold has improved some. A great deal actually. I slept pretty hard most of the day yesterday. The antibiotics, a Z Pack, took hold pretty quick.

As I had guessed, it is a sinus infection. I hadn't predicted the ear infection though. But when the doctor asked me if I had been dizzy, I realized, yeah, I have been. Man, I was running on fumes for a while.

But I refueled pretty good yesterday. Ate a LOT of food (I do that when I get sick), sat on my couch, watched TV (my new thing is Lost, thank you, again, Netflix), and slept. That's like my lifetime ideal. Thank you sinus and ear infections...kinda.

A little worried about all the work I had planned to get done this weekend. But I always get it done...somehow. And I have to get the house in order for the boys and for the sitter. I have to go into work tonight for a couple hours too. Blech. On the other hand, the pretty sitter is coming over. What? I can think girls who are too young for me are pretty, right? Man, getting older sucks. I would totally have hit on her when I was younger. But just wrong and inappropriate now. And plus, I really do need her to watch my boys on occasion. And she is really good and dependable.

Great! Now, I feel like creepy, approaching middle-age guy.

The blog has suffered this week. In retrospect, not too surprising. I was pretty tired all week. I could barely stay awake one day at work. And my job is to basically talk with people all day, so I had to really work to keep focused and not nod off as my students and work colleagues rambled on.

Three days out of the week I did not publish a post. That's almost half the week. As I pointed out before, on two of those days (the 9th and 10th), I actually did write posts. I just didn't publish them. On the 13th, when the cold really hit, I didn't even make an attempt.

I do like to post something for the days I missed. Not to make up for them. But as I mentioned before, as place holders and sort of records for the "history" of this blog.

So kind of a blog fail this week. That makes a total of four days I have not posted a blog so far. I'm sure there will be more.

And now back to convincing myself I'm not sick anymore.
