S-Town

I started S-Town, totally unaware of what it was about. I am halfway through chapter 4 and...crying. I can't decide if I can finish it. Even though I know I have to, it may take a really long time. The parallels between the protagonist and my father, this man's life and death, are startling.

I guess that's all the update I really have. I'm home sick. I have a company laptop and cell phone so there is no excuse not to get work done. I guess it's a kind of perk that I don't have to use sick days, and I hope I am paid out for them at the end of the year...though I doubt it. So, I'm working from home, listening to S-Town on NPR...and trying not to totally lose it.

So....I didn't realize there was no video linked to last weeks Saturday Happy Song...Sorry about that.
Poor little neglected blog.

I got sick again last Sunday, the 12th, and have been sick since. The 13th I only came into work for 2 hours, I called out the 14th, I slept 12-16 hours each of those days and drank tons of water, am taking double the dose recommended of vitamins...I still feel like crap. I don't know what's wrong with me at this point, but I'm dragging myself through life. Still doing all the things, just not at full tempo.

We had a wonderful weekend anyway. Steve played at Universal Bar and Grill Friday night, we had a band hang-out at a mansion on the beach in Dana Point all day Saturday, he played a fancy bar in Hollywood Sunday night...It was hotter than hell all weekend, but we still did stuff and had fun.

Record heat yesterday. It's a little better today...I'm just, worn out. So much stuff to work on and always feel like crap. So, I have kinda neglected this space because I have nothing to do but complain I guess. I haven't journaled either, I think I got a little burned out on the constant self expression and am in an internal phase. Which might not be helping the not feeling well part, I need to get feelings out and process them into something, but I don't feel like doing that either. I was all gun-ho about the spring cleaning, but was sick so often that not as much got done that I wanted.

So, I guess I just keep going. One foot in front of the other. Keep cleaning, processing, working, resting, creating, expressing, going.

Never, never, never give up.

Here's that video for ya:

Day 20 - Dracula and a box of tissues. Pretty much sums up today. Hate being sick, can't wait for it to be over. Dracula is much more engaging than I anticipated however.
