Someday I hope to do more with my life than just get through it

[dampscribbler]

It's been a brutal month or so, starting with larynigitis which led into The Sore Throat That Wouldn't Go Away, then finally did, only to be followed this weekend by a Mystery Illness From Hell. I'll spare you the gruesome details, suffice to say it was the gruesome-ist yet. The only identifiable thing I've got is a sinus infection, so I'm on antibiotics for that. I'm feeling remarkably better considering how sick I was all day Sunday and even 24 hours ago, but I'm still tired and cruddy-feeling, and I'm about to crawl back in bed and curl up with a book for a couple of hours (most likely the book will last about 20 minutes and then I'll be back asleep.)

All this time I've been caring for my family in only the most meager way, and of course, nothing beyond that. No writing my novel. No social events. I haven't even finished the damn taxes. I'm feeling like not such a good person right now. I'd really like to be about more than just getting by.
