Feeling better (Patreon)

Well, I'm starting to feel better.  A week or two ago, I mentioned that I had lost about twenty-five pounds, but this was not exactly intended weight loss.  I was off work for a few weeks now because my walks in the desert turned into a fungal infection.   Coccidioides have kicked my ass.  I've been coughing so hard that eating has been difficult and I've been on anti-fungal medicine which also upset my stomach. The doctor said rest was the best medicine, and thank the Lord I have the sick leave that allowed me to take time off.

I thought if I was home, I could write more.  Yeah, not so much.  I've been sleeping. I'm in my second week back at school, and I am right back to being tired, tired, tired, but I am feeling better.  

I think I was a cat in a previous life, though, because I don't like talking about trouble until I know I'm recovering.  I'm the cat who hides behind the biggest piece of furniture in the house to hack up the hairball and who hides any injury.  It's not that I don't want you guys to know... it's almost as if I don't know how to deal with the sympathy or maybe I don't have energy to deal with human interaction when I'm tired. I don't know.

But I do know I have been absent lately, and you guys have been more than patient.  Bodies.  They are such a headache, aren't they?
