Insanely busy. And busy as well. And not only demanding of my attention, but busy. Really, I&#8217;m beat. And when I finally get home my brain makes me watch TV until it&#8217;s too late and then I&#8217;m tired for the next day, which is busy. It really hasn&#8217;t been that much fun.<\/p>\n<p>But the worst thing about my day is that I found out that an online friend had died from, I think, the &#8216;flu. And I don&#8217;t deserve to feel bad like her close friends and family, but she&#8217;d email me from time to time and I&#8217;ll miss that. I mentioned that to a co-worker, and she told me she had a kid who died from the &#8216;flu. We both talked about how we&#8217;re big proponents of the &#8216;flu vaccine and, wow, I felt even worse. But I also feel like a schmuck for bringing up the &#8216;flu to her.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;flu is something that seems like you just soldier through but more than a few people I know have died from it. It&#8217;s more dangerous than it feels like it should be.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll go back to work tomorrow, where it will probably be very busy. I also have to move my cube from where it is to a new space where it&#8217;s louder and hotter than I like. But ti&#8217;s not as bad as it could be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t say much about work so I&#8217;ll just say the last two weeks were pretty busy.
