6 Out of 7, 100.1 Gorilla

Hello ladies and gents,

Hot on the heels of my 1,000th post yesterday, I woke up a bit under it with a 100.1 temperature. I am also in the midst of working 6 out of 7 days this week, mostly 12 hour shifts, so I am trying to fight it off as best I can and get to a day off.

I just wanted to say thank you, and please know I am not ignoring all your lovely comments. I will return ASAP to reply properly. I hope with some rest I will be on the mend by tomorrow.

I will catch up with you all in the shortest order possible.

Hang in there, and y’all rock!

    I know you want to show up and work, but you won’t feel better if you do. Mom says take a day and care for yourself. If you lived nearby, I’d make you some soup.

      My bigger goal for this morning as to get the Showcase up, which I did. Anything beyond those two things is a win. 💪
