If a guy has an online journal, people expect him to write. Right?<\/p>\n

Well, this guy has been a slacker. Right? I haven\u2019t written in a while. The days pass by and I think that I should write about what happens. Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t seem like there is anything significant to write about.<\/p>\n

Yet, there are people who still want to read and just want me to write. Right?<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ll write about today. Here\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n

I worked from home today because I am sick. I\u2019ve had this head and chest cold for the past few weeks. I thought I was over it, but it fought back good and hard this week. My chest hurts. My head is so full that I can hardly lift it. I have a vicious cough. My bones ache. I have a lot of work to do with short deadlines. I thought it would be best to keep myself and my germs at home rather than going to the office and \u201cspreading the love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the problem. I push myself too much. You\u2019ve heard of people who \u201cburn the candle at both ends.\u201d Right? Well, I just set the whole damn candle on fire at once! I work full time. I have children. I take classes at a nearby college. I play in a band. I\u2019m the president of a Toastmasters club. I\u2019m an assistant area governor in a local Toastmasters district. I run a web design business. I read lots of books and I attempt to write now and then. Sleep? Who needs sleep?<\/p>\n

I do. I tend to go on four or five hours of sleep a night. There are too many things that I might miss if I sleep. There are so many things that I would rather do. I always say that I\u2019ll sleep when I\u2019m dead. Well, that might happen soon if I don\u2019t get more sleep now! The lack of sleep is probably the biggest factor contributing to the health problems I\u2019ve had over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Since I was home during the day, I took Joel to the dentist. He\u2019s been having some pain. It turns out that he has a few cavities.<\/p>\n

Joel came to live with us in Manville this month. He\u2019s been looking for a job here. Today he had an interview at Arby\u2019s. I hope the whole family can get a discount if he works there. Those beef cheddar melts are awesome!<\/p>\n

Sadly, after returning from the dentist\u2019s office this afternoon, Joel had a seizure while taking a shower. I heard some kind of noise while he was in there. I thought it was the upstairs neighbor moving furniture or something. However, a short time after that, I heard Joel calling me from the bathroom. His voice sounded far away. I ran to the bathroom and found him lying on the floor with blood on his face. He cut the corner of his eye on something when he fell. He also hit his mouth and both of his lips were swollen. He was weak and disoriented. I wrapped a towel around him, calmed him down, and cleaned the blood up. After helping him to his bed, I gave him some ice for his lips. He soon fell asleep. Seizures really knock the crap out of him. They leave him feeling like he was run over by a truck. This time he looked like it too. He must have kissed the floor awful hard to get those big lips!<\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s what my day has been like. Right now, Arissa is making carrot soup for dinner because I\u2019m sick and have been whining for soup. We have a movie to watch from Netflix. \u201cThe Talented Mr. Ripley.\u201d I think that\u2019s the title.<\/p>\n

Thank-you to those who have written me to ask why I haven\u2019t been writing. I hope this entry meets your approval. It\u2019s just about a typical day, nothing super significant. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
