It's almost 7am, I've been up since 430 as always. The difference is
I took today off.
I took a shower and decided I couldn't face work so I called in sick,
then did my morning e-mail/internet news, coffee (normal) and went
out to the garage to work on a woodworking project.
I was sick this morning, after an hour or so of pre-dawn work in the
garage I feel a LOT better, I was sick of work.
I know corporate America doesn't really have a place of me to be
'sick' of going to work. There is no slot for 'not today' let alone a
slot for 'not this morning'.... The system is set up for me to either
be 'sick' or to show up or to plan ahead about this.
It's amazing what an hour of working for myself will do towards feeling better!
I guess there is some Vanagon content, I can't put the van in the
garage while it's full of wood stuff!

I've gotten the pieces of wood cut, I have a fresh cup of coffee,
I've checked the e-mail and I guess it's time to get back to it.
There is assembly to be done.
