Adventures in Illness

I have been sick for over two weeks.  While many may be frustrated and tired of it (and believe me, I am) it has been an interesting exercise as an adult to decide when I should go into work (probably should have stayed home more),  how I should take care of myself, and trying to figure out if I am drinking enough fluid (answer: I never do).  Now that it's reached the ridiculous time frame of over two weeks, despite how awful I feel, I'd rather not miss work.  Because really, how can I let a monstrous cold, or the fancy term, upper respiratory infection, wrestle me to the ground like this for so long?  Should I blame my immune system? Probably.  Is there more I could be doing?  Most likely.  But my body continues to hate me.  During these two weeks though, I've gotten a snow day, a new phone, and attended a bridal shower.  And I vowed to write my first post.  I promised myself that I would do it, no matter what.  This would be the perfect time!  I was home a lot, plenty of time avoiding homework and thinking about my stories.  But I faltered at where to start.  Where do you start a blog?  What would mine be about?  Ramblings like this post?  Strictly about my writing (practically non-existent)? And so I'm starting here.  Right here.  And it will include posts about my writing, movies and shows I like, and whatever else I may want to say.  Look out for name of the week posts regarding character names that I'm taken with at the moment, research for my stories, and general updates on my forthcoming nuptials.  I also will share posts from my sister who is currently studying abroad in London, and updates on my other sister who lives in L.A.  So here's my first post.  And may my illness end soon.
