Apologies for the dearth of posting

I have been ill for near two weeks with what I assumed was a nasty summer cold that was refusing to let go of me. It is only with great difficulty that I have been able to attend to my essential responsibilities. This morning I woke with difficulty breathing and so exhausted I had a hard time rising from my bed. 

I skipped liturgy and went to the local walk in clinic where the doctor fairly quickly diagnosed me with pneumonia. Now on antibiotics, I am taking the next several days as sick time and confining myself to rest and what in the Navy we termed "light duty." Hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
