I'M ALIVE

I will try to be active again starting today. My illness ended up lasting about 2 months: a cold, then inflammation, then allergies acting up with inflammation. It got into my lungs and really hit me pretty hard in terms of draining my energy. I don't *think* I took any sick days off work, except I did get some clients to give me a break with personal training and I skipped out on a lot of basketball. There was no MAJOR health problem except that I was wiped out and my immune system decided to go haywire while I was ignoring a cold.
My December/January and probably February work schedules will probably be insane. This week alone, we've needed a babysitter 5 days (if you count tomorrow). Basically around this time of year my personal training work tends to pick up. And some new people at my (other) job aren't performing amazingly well, so I keep needing to take on more shifts (which bugs me, because I've been trying to work a bit less, ofc). Natalie (my wife) is working a fair amount of hours as a pharmacist, and her pharmacy will be about a year late in hiring a 2nd pharmacist (Spet 2012 instead of Fall 2011). Part of why I un-retired from the mod team was the basic promise that her pharmacy was hiring a 2nd pharmacist ... fml

^^ That's the wall-o'-text update on me. Sorry that I didn't communicate much in the last few weeks but my family and work life has been really busy. I usually get up at 5, 6 or 7 AM, and I'm awake doing stuff until 1, 2 or 3 AM. So even logging in has been tough-going. Thanks to those who have stuck it out. This is a GREAT Guild and I'm very proud of our co-leaders for
once again chipping in when I've been in dodge-mode

g2g for now, Marcus wants me
