Ramblings of the Mildly Insane

So, there I was – standing at the edge of Lake Crappy. I had just lost my footing and I was flailing my arms in hopes of regaining it and praying not to fall in.

Obviously it didn’t work because I fell in.

That’s where I’ve been for the past couple weeks or so, treading water, and slowly pulling myself out and back onto solid ground.

Let me tell you – the person who said “work through the pain” is full of sh*t. The first week I wasn’t feeling too hot, I tried to “work through the pain” and keep up the pretenses that all was well and good when it wasn’t and the only thing it did was make me feel worse.

To the point where I had to call it quits because I couldn’t focus, think clearly, or stay awake.

Unfortunately, it put me way behind on a lot of things and though I’m still feeling a bit crappy, I am working to catch up on a lot of things.

So, if I’m quiet here for a while – you know why.
