Post
For anyone who saw my pinned post about my health scare a few weeks back, or the blog post about my visit to hospital, I just wanted to share that I'm fine now.
I've since been thoroughly poked and prodded by a very thorough doctor, who gave me a clean bill of health. I'm still not sure whether I had a virus, but I definitely had a bad reaction to new meds. Which I won't be continuing with.

Anyway the whole incident woke me up to the fact that I'm a bit burned out. I've given myself permission to withdraw from all volunteer work, political news and commentary, and anything else liable to make me swear at my phone. For at least a month, probably two.
I will continue to post when I feel so inclined, but it will be mostly stuff about TV shows, entertaining podcasts, and #ShowerThoughts. I may reply occasionally, but will likely keep it light.

If you're struggling out there. Whether it's to solve wicked problems or break up concentrated power, or just to survive. Chin up, you got this : )
Kia kaha, stand strong.
Kia toa, have courage.
Kia manawanui, be stouthearted.

Thanks @evan. At a number of points I thought I might actually by dying, although it turned out to be much less serious than that.
It was pretty scary. But my main response was disappointment that maybe I wouldn't get to watch my grandchildren grow up. It was a great relief to wake up the next morning and realise that I'm still here for them.

If you are sick, *rest*.
My flatmate and I have had a nasty illness over the last couple of weeks. It started with a runny nose, and proceeded to gut discomfort - especially in the kidneys - intense headaches, and fever. Leading to both of us having episodes where we passed out and woke up on the kitchen floor.
Not sure what it was but you don't want it, and if you get it nobody else does. Stay home!
I know it's gauche to boost your own posts, but if I remember I'll give this a boost just before I go to sleep, for all our friends in the Occidental regions.
@podsrover I agree. Boost is there for whatever signal you think needs boosting at the time. Self-deprecating humour doesn't always translate well in text form. Unless you use <irony> tags or something : P
