OUT OF FOCUS

Today I am sick. I am sitting at work looking at my list of things to do today, but all I can focus on is the pain I am feeling from the knocking of a head cold that wants to be let in.

I never get sick but yesterday I felt the unfamiliar ache of a sore throat pain so I started my I-refuse-to-get-sick regimend. The cold is fighting back.

I'm certain I will be victorious but at this particular moment in time I feel all the aches and pains of clogged nasal passages, sand paper throat and throbbing head. I want to crawl back into my bed and sleep the day away but that fantasy is not to be.

The daily demands of life will always take presidence over the things we want most.
