I’ve got the cold. It began on Tuesday though I still went into work the rest of the week. What a week to get it though? With me having to get the bus. Dragging yourself out of bed at twenty past five in the morning all choked up is not the best of feelings. Then to spend the day grafting away does take it out of you. All you can do is get your head down and get on with it as I did. I was glad to get home though and back to my bed after surfing the net for an hour or so.
It is strange how we fill our time even when not at our best with the web these days. Yet what would we do with ourselves if the net was just to vanish tomorrow? When we have a problem with connecting up to the cyber world we have that panic that sets in or at least I do. It is like it has become another part of us that we can’t do without. A whole opens when you can’t reach your online friends to catch up on what is happening. It has become that important to us. It also gives us that other reason for not putting up the shelf we promised the wife, hehehe. Maybe that one is just me, luckily there isn’t any shelves at the moment.
When I think of my cold today though it puts it into perspective, this being Remembrance Day. The eleventh day of the eleventh month. The day that the Great War finally came to an end. As well as the day we think of all those that gave their lives defending our way of life. It also makes me grateful that I was never put to that kind of test.
