Before it's overI had a rough Sunday today (following a rough week, w/ influenza - see below), but it was preceded by an unusually-good week. This upcoming week will be good as well.
I do (I know I've said this before, but...) still plan to do those entries, regarding CPAC 2009. I did not end up making it up north, for the
YAF Midwest Conference. (Oh well
...)
For now however:
TODAY is the
Ides of March!!
BEWARE!!!!!!

Update (3/11/09): Posting this article here will allow me to close another one of my SeaMonkey browser windows, and it'll also share something, regarding an area I need to get a handle on!
The Quest for the Nearly-empty Inbox
Update (3/15/09): I have more-recently kept this blogger's entry open, since this is pertinent to my situation of this week (and perhaps in the future)... Wow! - While I was starting to type this update (Community Access Channel 4 is on, as I frequently have it), Prophet Michael read from the book of Peter, and specifically said a verse that I had just been thinking of, which is near and dear to me (pertinent to my conversion testimony, a topic we'll deal with later on this blog). That is a different verse, but from the same Book & chapter, that is cited in aforesaid blogger's entry.
InfluenzaIn the
last entry, I mentioned recent experiences, recent frustrations, and that I had some drafted-out blog entries that I wanted to publish next. (With the month ending so abruptly [Februarys are like that! ;-], those entries wouldn't be on the same archive page, but oh well.
However, that has had to be delayed... And
Christian Hartsock guest-blogging here has also had to be delayed - as has my progress, in finding a good position; I was doing well last week, though!... At the end of that good week (i.e., on this past Saturday) I came down with something; a visit to the Clinic the following day revealed it to be influenza.
Respiratory illnesses finally make way to area | Flu finally arrives in central IllinoisI was vaccinated a couple of months ago, but was told that that didn't matter much, since the flu vaccine is only for the anticipated strain(s) of the virus.
One symptom of this was that looking at a television was sometimes difficult (because of the light), so using this laptop was not that much of an option, this past weekend. I did register for the
Young America's Foundation (YAF)
Midwest Conference (like we did, last time - Spring 2007), which is next weekend; and this time, it's only half the distance (in Chicago, rather than Minneapolis); I got one of the current UIS CR & SCS leaders to register as well; I think that this might be Mid-Terms Week for them.
There is so much that I would like to get done before the YAF Midwest Conference [that was already the case, as you know but I was actually starting to make good progress this time!!], but I need for this flu to pass (and for some other painful conditions to pass as well!!).
That follow-up half-day seminar from
StoresOnline (mentioned below, though from
web research, it looks like it may not be worth pursuing anyway) can be re-scheduled. I think I now need to prioritize and limit what I am involved with... But at the same time, find ways to optimize my abilities and productivity. I have so many talents and skills; I need to get them organized and put into practice, on a major basis.
Help from the Lord is going to be essential; His assistance can cause us to achieve things we ourselves are not capable of.
Thanks for your prayers. I will be back here soon!!
