After a Weeks Absence from Blogger . . .

I've been gone a while! This time last week I was preparing for a Singlutionary weekend away with my mom. My mom is one of those married singlutionaries who's husband doesn't like to travel so she takes me instead! I am not going to complain about that. So we spent a weekend in the freezing cold state of NY. 

And I got sick. I am ordinarily one of those healthy gals who rarely gets sick longer than a few days. It was just a cold so I powered through and saw the sights. But I've been back three days now I'd like like to healthily go on my way and live my life (especially after having some wonderful revelations about myself/my goals/my future on the flight home) except that I can't sleep at night cause I can't stop coughing. I can hardly move without coughing. And when I say coughing, what I really mean is hacking up a lung. 

So since I am one of the gazillion uninsured people in America, I made myself in charge of my own healthcare and looked up my symptoms online. Looks like I've got bronchitis (and laryngitis too by the way) which the doctors can't really do anything about anyways. I'm supposed to rest, drink fluids, blah, blah, blah.

And THIS is when I realize that I usually spend all day inside hanging out in bed doing one project or another on the computer. The only thing is that USUALLY, I don't have to. I could go outside and get a tan or walk the dog or I could *gasp* clean the house.  Usually when I am feeling lazy, I am really feeling dysfunctional. But now, the only cure for my body's dysfunction is to be lazy! Being the rebellious person that I am, I of course want to plan a multi leg backpacking trip RIGHT NOW. But then I realize how intimidated I am by my existing weekend commitments which include two consecutive days of travel to (kinda) nearby cities and a great deal of talking (not so good when I can barely speak above a whisper).

What does this have to do with the Singlution? Not much. I came up with so many wonderful topics on the airplane that I wanted to write about. Apparently I have coughed them right out of my head! But I'll get back to the Singlution ASAP!!
