Illness Update Tuesday in Book Seven: Reconstruction 2020

Today must be the last day I call in sick to work. It was an important call in today. I slept until 2:00 p.m. and when I awoke it was obvious that the current watchword of my illness is mucus. So I needed to sleep. And my throat is feeling a little better. Still a very weak voice. But all the more reason why Wednesday is an appropriate day to return to work as I won’t be expected in court. That being said… I still won’t be able to return voice mails. Maybe I can get my secretary to do that.

Martha is plugging along with her transition. Getting electricity and cable in her name. Buying a new smart Television so that she can access all the things she wants like Netflix and YouTube without needing to take one of my video game systems to do the same.

I mean… the timing is late but I’d still say the timing sucks. Hopefully, it isn’t too strange to understand that being sick makes me feel particularly vulnerable and fragile. Add to that the transition steps reminding me that my marriage is entirely over with no promises of anything better in the future? It just… it hits a little extra hard.
