It’s Always Something: A Note From a Sick, Pasty-Faced Copywriter

No freelancer likes to get sick. It’s not as if we get sick days from the HR department. And there’s little worse than missing deadlines because you’re too busy driving the porcelain bus.

Yet it happens. It’s been happening to me all week.

I’ll be back at work next week. Preferably without the headaches, nausea, fever — and all the other messy symptoms you don’t want to read about.

Keep writing. And stay well.

    See what happens when you have too much fun, frolic and relaxation?!?

    Feel better, kiddo. Have another round of saltines on me.

    If anything, disease and infirmity is caused by not enough fun and relaxing. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

    Saltines. The only food I can eat. The bright side? I seem to have lost five pounds.

    How lucky can a guy get?

    Thanks Michael! Almost better, but making a daylong trip to the doctor’s today. I’ll be back tomorrow with a post.

    It might not be much of a post, but it will be words on the page. That much is assured…
