Late Start...

Getting a late start to the day today. I think I am sick. Curses. I avoided it as long as I could throughout this uncharacteristically cold snap we're having here in Southern California, but I guess it has finally caught me. When I am sick, I sleep in, which means I started this day very late and that sadly means it's going to be one long ass day with my deadline looming tomorrow.

I was brought up in a home where if you weren't dying, you just manned up and pushed through it. In fact, I remember clearly that I didn't miss a day of school for anything. Both my parents worked so staying home wasn't really an option. I do recall one incident however that the school called my mom and told her I was too sick to stay at school.

So with that philosophy in mind, I will probably be staying late today to make sure all my tasks get done before the cutoff tomorrow.
