getting back

being saddled with a lot of work while nursing a flu is a lot of work in itself. that's basically how life was the last couple of days since i last posted something. it probably may be that i couldn't really find anything particularly interesting to write about and that feeling sickly (aka dizzy, weak) and all made me hit the sack more @ odd hours of the day. yeah, i feel better (and stronger) today but i'm still trying to get rid of this persistent, on-off cold i still have. for some reason, its harder to recover from being sick these days - or might be nature is trying to strike a balance that the more you abuse yourself, she makes you rest, recover and heal longer. i dunno. it would have been great if i could have just stopped the world from turning, took a breather and just rest for the whole week. but that isn't how life works, there are chores and there are work and there are papers and deadlines that need attending - sick or not.

fascinating though is that at times like these, you get a license to procastinate - or you somehow justify having to put things off by telling yourself "me - sick, need more rest." and then only to realize that you would have to work doubly hard to catch on the backlog. and that's what i would have to do tonight - the school presentation is begging for attention and i've been putting it off until tonight. its funny but amidst all the work & school fuss, i actually found time to set-up a website (course its ready-made) for me & my college barkada. it wasn't hard to put content in it because i made it for us (in all parts of the world) to be able to share pictures and videos - just to get everyone aware what's happening. its also a place to share pictures of kids & family and i've placed a lot of my nephews pictures already. i even had a great time scanning and uploading our grad pictures in that website and it was fun reminiscing how different we all looked back ... errr circa! ugh, the thought of saying "x" number of years ago feels mortifying that i dare not. yeah, sometimes it does feel we're "that old." but the thing is i found setting that site up more rewarding than finishing three or four of my work presentations.

i can't think about "not wanting" to work right now - next six weeks is going to be brutal. its starting to feel like i made a serious error in planning - lol! hopefully, none of the important pieces fall into the cracks.
