What do you do when life happens, and you can forget everything about your plans?
There I was, making plans about Fiverr, starting an Instagram account related to it, preparing posts for it...and then it happened.
It started innocently enough: I had a coffee with a friend. Then I spent too much time in the sun, and got a sunstroke. Then I did everything I could (and everything I should have done) to cool off and recover – and a couple of days later, when my symptoms changed, I was diagnosed with a bronchopneumonia. Ouch. Think fever (40C), awful headaches, weakness, very sore throat from all the coughing… It took me a month to recover, and in the end, I’ve made it, with excellent test results – but during that month, I’ve been unable to work, and I could forget about all the plans that I’ve made. They were simply no longer doable.
What a way to spend a third of your summer.
And then?
Then I traveled to the seaside, both to help my lungs and to spend some time with my family living there. And now I’m back, dusting my skills and my plans off, thinking about new improvements and possible new offers (got a few ideas already), and ready to work again.
Is it going to be easy? Of course not – life still happens, and even while I’m writing this, I’ve got a bunch of things to handle, and a bunch of stuff to keep me busy. But, hey, at least I’m doing it without bronchopneumonia, and that’s a huge relief.
Once again, it’s good to be back.
