For the last two weeks or so (or is it three? I’ve honestly lost count. Maybe it’s even four. Anyway, feels like forever), I’ve been rendered helpless and lame with a kidney infection.
It sucks. It really, really sucks.
After a round of antibiotics, it was getting better but I was still so tired that I felt like I’d possibly died and entered purgatory. And then the infection came back. Seems it never actually went away. My kidney is like Captain Brody on Homeland: I don’t know if it’s really with me or against me.
In addition to my brain turning to mush, I’ve been back and forth from work so much that I’m sure they’re really irritated with me. I’m not even sure if I can still picture my co-workers faces.
As such, I’ve been completely out of the literary composition loop and haven’t written a damned thing. This is probably for the best. The following is a list of potential blog articles I may have written in the last few weeks had I the wherewithal to find a keypad.
