Just checking in to let you know I’ve been recovering on schedule. Wednesday really was the worst day — and you can tell by how badly my update post was worded, lol. But I got a really good cough medicine, two types of anti-biotics, and an inhaler. Plus, my mom hooked me up with some extra nebulizer treatments that definitely helped out. Last night for the first time since last Thursday, I actually slept four hours in a row. Plus my dad and cousin came up today and did some housekeeping that really boosted my mood. It sucks to be so sick and live alone. Every small task drained every bit of energy, just ugh.

Anyway, today’s the first day I also had an appetite which was nice, lol. I can take full and deep breaths without wheezing too badly.  I’m also sitting in the office, feeling up to going through the pack of emails in my work email and starting to think about next week and going back to work on Monday. I had already planned a super low key final week of classes for the kids, and I have every expectation that the majority of my kids will go easy on me this week.

That being said, as many of you expressed in your comments, pneumonia is no joke and I’m going to be careful with my recovery. I’m making zero promises about this upcoming week. If I feel up to updating, I absolutely will. We were getting into a good groove there and I miss it. But I’m just giving myself a break. This was a really awful week, and I’m not rushing to repeat it.

Our Patreon December Christmas Perks will be extended into January or February depending on when I get back into regular writing again.
