beat down

I haven't been around lately due to the persistent bug that’s been going around and I’m only now starting to feel like myself again. And thank goodness for that! My cold/flu/Ebola virus didn’t just kick my butt to bed for 5 days and make the past two weeks painfully stuffy and runny; it seemed to have somehow manipulated my whole outlook on my life. And not for the best.


Today is warm and sunny, just the way I wish every fall day could be (but isn’t by any stretch of the imagination). I know I should be in a considerably better mood than I am. But like I said, something seems to have turned my whole world grey and dreary. Maybe it's the not seeing anyone or doing anything fun for the past two weeks.

Consequently, I’m trying very hard to get out of this funk. I haven’t figured out what I can do, other than what I’m already doing. And I know that my restlessness will eventually just go away. However, I prefer to be a little more proactive in such matters.

I realize this might be an anti-climactic post. It ends without solution or epiphany, but I figure posting again might be part of that solution.
