Sick Days

It happened again. I only got to work half a day today because my wife is still sick. I feel really bad for her because she just feels like trash. But it's also frustrating for me because I'm falling more and more behind on my work. I tried catching up some when I came home today, but you can only do so much with interruptions for little children. I was actually able to get two sermon series poster ideas started.
One is for an upcoming series called "sin city". I got pretty far on that one. I'll post it once I've got it finished. The other one is for our Easter message. I found an image for it, and I have an idea on the text for it, but that's about as far as I've gotten.
I'm still just using Publisher, although I have upgraded to Publisher 2007. I'm hopefully going to go through the 10 hour InDesign CS2 tutorial soon, I just need to find the time. I haven't noticed a lot of changes in the new publisher, but two that I have are awesome. The first is you can set the spacing width of columns when you are setting up layout guides. That is really useful for me since I do so many half sheet flyers. The other major improvement is being able to use an eyedropper to "grab" a color you want off of the screen rather than trying to create it through the little color maker graphic. Much easier. JM

Missing In Action

Man, this past week was just wicked rough for me. I feel all out of sorts, and I wasn't the one who was sick. My wife got some kind of virus and has kind of been out of it since Tuesday. Wednesday, I barely was able to do any work. I didn't go in on Thursday or Friday, and on Saturday all I did was run a youth praise band practice for a high school event that night. Beyond that, my reading schedule is way off. I've only read probably 20 pages in the past week. I'm not an exceptionally avid reader, but I try to digest at least 20 pages a day. On top of that, I only went to the gym once this past week.
Thankfully every new day is just that: new. So tomorrow I'm going to go to the gym, then go to work and try to bang out a lot of stuff that needs to get done, then come home and do family time, and then follow up with some reading/personal time tomorrow night. Hopefully all will go well, and I can get my life back on track. JM

Sickness

My daughter is sick right now. I'm holding her as I type. It's sad because she's wicked tired, but she can't sleep because she hurts. She's way too young (10 months) to tell us what hurts, so all I can do is just hold her. Sometimes that's all we really need. JM

Sick Days

I haven't posted in two days. Something must be wrong. Well, yeah. My wife, my son, and myself were all ill throwing up and pooping down all night on Saturday night. I learned that my son is amazing. He would get up, go to the bathroom, throw up, and then go back to bed, all without us doing anything. I also learned that friends are amazing. A great friend came and picked up our daughter on Sunday morning and took her all day so that she wouldn't become sick.
Being ill is horrendous. Glad it's over. Just trying to get my energy back now. JM
