Well, I haven’t blogged in a while. It was due to my new diet plan. You haven’t heard of the newest weight loss technique? Yeah, it’s called the flu. Yes, good old influenza. Wow! 7 days and 9 pounds. I am now back from the near dead. I learned an important economic lesson during flu week.
I would have liquidated any account that I have to have felt better. I would have paid anything to feel normal.
Side note: My doctor’s office makes you pay the co-pay prior to service now. It was kinda weird. Here is $20, now I am going to sit in your lobby full of the undead for 60 minutes, then go into a room for 5 minutes with a doctor and then leave.
I will be firing back up the content this week. Thanks for your patience. Cough.
