Wanted to get out a nice, overdue story before getting to the ugh stuff. As the title says, I was doing OK until about Tuesday morning when the coughing/congestion I’ve attributed to allergies knocked me down for a day or so then led to a panic/anxiety attack. Sucks too. I had a pretty good exercise streak (70 days) happening plus there’s so much crap to deal with at work. Summer has become a mediocre season. It used to be the opportunity to breathe, regroup and train but the last several years the Summer has been allocated to rush in all the other jazz time since Apple’s trends have moved toward major new things in early to mid Fall. I’m basing this upon how matters went with Lion and Mountain Lion. Mavericks is slated for Fall which usually means a month in which Fall technically happens; days after the Equinox. At least it’s the announced plan. I’m not privy to the truth nor would I share it here.
I think part of the panic attack got brought on by the comedown of my birthday, memories centered around this time of year and stupidly letting my mind go on the hunt over all the balls in the air I’m juggling. Definitely need to ask the doctor to review some exercises on turning that part off.
Somara did a good job helping me pull myself together and nursing semi-sick cat did a bit; Nemo has been the only cat struggling with the cold Isis brought from AHS. The one big thing she made me do was force me out of the house to participate in Rumble in the Pub, I was inches from bailing.
Now to get digging out over all the junk I’ve neglected for a few days, never a good time. I also want to start redesigning the site since the a million-word milestone was achieved. Rather bummed the 500-comment milestone didn’t happen first. It’ll just make the 500th comment all the much better.
