Sick...again?

This has been a record year for me. I've had the flu twice since coming back from Colorado (which was great). Then, middle of last week I noticed a rash on my neck and it turned out I have shingles. I mean seriously - who gets shingles! Apparently I do... So I'm on high dose meds, keeping my neck and shoulder covered and doing everything I can to avoid the nerve pain I've got with it. I'm basically keeping my distance from everyone I can right now - by Monday night I should be seeing some good improvements - assuming the meds are working.

Other stuff going on - gotta give Grandpa's car back soon and I hope Steve can find a new car quickly enough that I don't end in a jam without a way to get to or from work. I guess I'm lucky that his car was available and that my timing with Steve buying a new car worked out so well. I'm in the busiest part of the year for work, but at least it is for projects I enjoy. I'm knee-deep in VMware and storage projects and I really do enjoy this stuff. School is an easy term for the next eight weeks and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I just finished a senior project course last term and it really wiped me out (I'm sure it contributed to my flu sessions). So for the next eight weeks I'm looking to just do well in school, as always, and refresh myself as spring hits and then it's back into heavy school-work again.

Just keeping my head down as life comes and goes. That's all I can do until I'm done with school.
