delay
It looks like I need to adjust my timeline. I'm currently fighting off a severe case of strep throat, which included a doctor-mandated 3-day bedrest. Two weeks ago, I dislocated my knee while dancing at a company party -- from which I've mostly recovered. But, when all is said and done, I'll have lost a month trying to nurse myself back to health.
And, of course, it doesn't help that I'm on a diet of mushy food right now. Soup, pudding, Jell-o, mashed potatoes, ice cream... a diabetic's nightmare.
BUT... in the process of it all: I've quit smoking. So its not all bad news.
