About and inch of snow on the ground, with another 2" expected by noon. Beautiful outside.
 
Yesterday, I had a superior day. After 12 noon, I felt completely normal - the first time since all this started in late May. No coorelation to any event, just the peak of the steroids?
 
9.9 hours in. Most of it on the paid programming project. That's starting to be a bit of a toil...a lot of work on a "fancy" form yesterday, with 3 or 4 report and email action forms on tap for today. Tomorrow is getting the inventory installation straightened out. Lunch with the guy who wrote it tomorrow. But today, I'm optimistic about prospects. Really feeling better. Slight problem in there are no publishing sales, nor are there any prospects for revenue in February. Should be interesting.

OK. This entry means I'm caught up again. REALLY behind the ball with work, but hopeful to be able to dig out today. Kids have the day off, so its going to be hard, I have to set up Chip's basketball net thingy for him.
 
Good night's sleep, with an angel visiting to give me meds at around 2am. Didn't get awakened by cramps. Feel  "normal" today vs yesterday. The majority of my problems was the stomach bug, and it seems like its moving on today. I'm hopeful, at least, about getting some heavy programming work done today. Last week's production 35.6 hours, down from the week prior. But there was the cognitive testing and the stomach bug. Ugh. Is there any hope for me being able to make it?
 
I'm optimistic bout this week though. Have to be, or I'll get buried.  Maybe I'm buried already but don't want to admit it......

Very disappointing weekend. Got about 1.5 hours in on Saturday morning. At Chip's game, I was having problems focusing my eyes and had to really concentrate to see what was going on with the game. Saturday night, was awakened by abdominal cramps - I think it was a stomach virus.Between the weather change Saturday afternoon and the bug, I was completely debilated Sunday with cramps and a killer headache. To bed and asleep by 8pm both days. Sleep on Sunday morning for 2 hours in the morning in the chair. No energy. Constant and persistant cramps. Wifey got me child tabs of ibuprofin on Sunday afternoon and that helped with the headache. Good sleep on Sunday night.
