I Had a Little Break in Writing
My apologies that I haven’t written in about a month.
I am sure many of you have been here, especially those of you who write as a side hobby. I’m not trying to make excuses, but I want to apologize to those who look forward to seeing what I come up with next.
Life gets busy. Life gets messy. Life is just LIFE.
From the end of October through January, it seems non-stop. It certainly is for me, with a business and holidays, then when you add a stubborn common illness to the mix, you have a recipe for disaster. At least a recipe for no free time.
My son and I were sick for longer than anticipated. A common upper respiratory illness — congestion, cough, earache. My poor son is still suffering after over a month. He has been tested multiple times for COVID (all negative), been on antibiotics, steroids, decongestants, NSAIDs, allergy meds, holistic remedies — I’m hoping he doesn’t relapse again after this series of treatment. I’m beyond annoyed and just feel for the little dude. Surprisingly, but not, it hasn’t slowed him down. Those resilient little people.
In the back of mind from having a science based education, it jabs at me that it’s because everyone has been beyond sterile due to the COVID-19 scare and our immune systems just didn’t get the workout they’re use to. Our immune systems being our natural defense systems need the training. It’s a matter of opinion though, and it really is the season for sickness.
I did write a little bit when I was sick, because I was annoyed and needed to vent, however since then, I really haven’t opened up a write a story portion of medium or medium outside my phone app to read. I was just not feeling very creative or inspired while I was feeling like, lets just say it honestly, like SHIT.
My routine was thrown from the illness and I had a difficult time focusing. Basic life responsibilities were set aside, like laundry and cleaning, while I healed and recovered. It has taken me a few weeks to get back on track and now that I am back into a reasonably normal flow, the Christmas Season is upon us.
I don’t normally get into the holiday spirit, because I find it a very stressful time of year (besides highly materialistic), but…
