Ughhhhhhh its been a while

So it's been 26 days since an update. There's a really good reason for that-- the first, I dunno, 15 of them were completely uneventful. And then the last 11 I've been sick as a dog. First with a cold, then with a secondary sinus infection. The timing of the cold was fine, but the sinus infection has been pretty inconvenient, what with the marathon being on Sunday and all. I figured that over the weekend, I'd rest up and be better, but instead I got a whole lot worse. So I went to the doctor on Monday, told her I need to run a marathon on Sunday, and she gave me this look. You know, this look that said something along the lines of, "not with those sinuses you're not, kiddo." But then she gave me a Z pack and cough syrup and decongestant and told me to stay home from work for a day or two, and now I'm finally on the mend! Marine Corps Marathon, here we come! (Except, really, I'm still not better, so this marathon will probably be pretty rough. Fingers crossed that I even finish.)
