Thanksgiving Week

Discovered I had left the previous update in a draft state when I posted it two weeks ago. Back from the business trips and the hunting trip. Son got his deer, I missed my shot (it's been replaying in my head for days). I now count the miss as an act of kind providence as we were more than a mile from camp and had pack out the quarters -- two rucksacks at I'm guessing 40 pounds each. Lot of work, not to mention a mess. I'll spare you the details.

Much to be thankful for this year. I have a new appreciation for feeling good. I know that not everyone gets this blessing, so I'm especially thankful that I'm able to undertake some pretty strenuous challenges. Thinking about a marathon next year. I've fallen off my running lately and need to get back to it.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Chris

Checking In After Three Months

A comment to the previous post brought me back, so I may as well check in. Yes, I'm in a hotel again. A new project, a new nightmare. I'll say it's a mess and leave it that.

I'm due for another liver panel this month. I'm not worried about it.

I've spent the past six months making up for a year with my life on hold. I'm working to bring a book into print (unrelated to both work and Hep C) and trying to get home projects taken care of. That's difficult now, as I'm paying for the bye year from work. Lots of air miles these days. I was looking at my calendar for the rest of the year and I'm back to back. I've been in Tennessee for the past two weeks, going home for the weekend. I'm taking a couple of days to go deer hunting with Son and so won't travel next week (historically, Bambi is pretty safe). The following week is Thanksgiving, after which I have two classes for two consecutive weeks. After that, I'm back here to see what's happened on the project. Who knows what happens after that.

I have to get some work done for tomorrow. To those on treatment, blessings and best wishes. There's an end to it and you can get your life back. That life can be overwhelming at times, but it's sweetened with a new appreciation for health.
