Scripting News: Feeling much better

Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Feeling much better

Yesterday was the first feel-good day after a horrible bout with whatever it was that hit me and dragged me under.

But Naked Jen, who said she had the same disease, warned against believing you're better when you start feeling better. She fell for it, and ended up being sick for two weeks. I've had that happen too.

So I spent yesterday bumming around, sleeping a lot, reading, did a little writing, etc. And today I feel even better. But I'm still going to ease out of the disease, not try to make up for lost time. I'll go to breakfast with the crew in a few, and then do some food shopping. Maybe a short walk, and more of the routine of the last week. Fluids, rest, nothing too heavy.

The goal is to feel even better tomorrow, and do a little more tomorrow.
