vinceconawayBeing sick sucks.
It's especially scary when you're self-employed, but thankfully being laid low this week couldn't be timed better for me. I had an incredibly intense performance schedule last week (likely one reason I'm sick now), and if I had been sick for it I would have been utterly miserable and lost hundreds of dollars. Since this is the time of year where I'm earning money to save through the winter, that would've cascaded into a problem in January.
And so I'm deeply thankful to be sick today. I've been called an optimist, but I don't think that's the case; the greatest fuel for my anxiety issues is my vivid imagination, but it also helps me stay grounded by recognizing how much worse my problems could be.
