ddickinson: I am glad to hear the day is going nicely. I hope you are all doing well, enjoying the (hopefully) lovely summer?
Maybe, I just feel like I ramble on too much at the moment. People don't need to hear me complaining. So I just figured that unless specifically asked, I will do my best to not go into any negative things and just try to stick to more positive things. Life is too short to just go on about the bad things.
My day has been good, thank you. I have just gotten back home from a quick visit to my doctors just to check how everything is going. It looks like I am over the worst in regards to the pneumonia, so I should be able to start going back to work next week. Of course only for short bursts, but still, that is better than nothing. Then after a while I can see about building the time up until with any luck I will be good as new and back to work full time.
I understand feeling that way, as I often do myself. I don't think you should ever feel pressure to share things that don't fall under the "positives" category, but I don't think you should feel like a burden if you do, either. You're sincere and always considerate of others, and you've always got a positive outlook on even the crappy lifestuffs, so I doubt you'd ever come across as whining or complaining. I do also think it's a good self-practice to focus more on positive things in general, so I certainly don't argue with the logic. :)
That's great news about your check up! Glad you're through the worst of the pneumonia and that you'll be able to return to work. Even short bursts of getting to be there will surely make a world of difference. I've been practicing driving recently (it's been years) and we have a plan to get a second car once I'm comfortable enough with driving to try to get medically cleared to do so again... what I'm most hopeful for is to get back to driving so that I could realistically volunteer at the Mayo Clinic, as I really miss working, and though my doctors still advise against me trying to return to the workforce, I've been given a thumbs up for limited volunteer work. I hope your return to work goes well!
*edit: oh, and yes, thank you, I' quite enjoying my summer thus far. We just put up an umbrella for shade out back yesterday, so we've been making the most of it today. The fact that it's also a good bit cooler out today than it has been in recent days helps, too. :)
