It's funny how life catches up to you, just when you think you have a leg up on her.  For the last 4 months, I have been working pretty hard... and I am not just saying this because there is a high probability that my boss reads my blog.  I think even he would agree with that assessment.  The truth is, whenever you push yourself a lot, for an extended period of time, eventually you reach a saturation point... and that's when things start coming apart. 

I started feeling lousy about 3 days ago, but it really hit me on Saturday morning.  I started with the usual headache, stuffy nose, etc., and then it just blossomed from there.  Lousy germs... Anyway, I was planning on taking some time off this week to spend with the family, as a bit of an informal vacation around the house.  As it turns out, the first part of that will likely be spent sleeping a lot, and trying to return my body to full health.  After I am feeling better,  I will start getting more hardcore about my eating, sleeping, exercising regiment.  Hopefully that will prepare me for the inevitable winter months and the corresponding flu season that comes with them... 

Let's hope that I can get a couple days of actual vacation in this week... :-)
