First day of summer and I am stuck at home sick. I have broken two streaks unfortunately: going to work everyday and staying healthy. I managed to go to work for over a year without calling out sick. Quite an accomplishment for myself. I was shooting for two years but sadly it was not to be. Last year I manged to go all year without getting sick. How I managed that I have no clue. This year I've gptten sick two times so far. First time was in January and well, now. I'm hoping this will be it and I will be good to go.

Not sure if the drama and stress from our first season drained me, or I just need a break. I just hope my outlook changes soon. I'd hate to lose interest in something I love so much and worked so hard to accomplish. Ya veremos.
