Punzi's Corner Blog: Reporting from Sickbay

This day in history from:

Reporting from Sickbay

So fatigue and some flu-like symptoms (and a bum stomach) reduced me to about 50%.

So I figured, I could go to half of my appointments for the day.

But then all got worse.

The headaches got worse.

The soreness of the body got worse.

Even my bum stomach got worse.

So I had ditch the idea of even going to half of my appointments and just took the whole day off.

I'm feeling better now but not 100%. But this time, I have to attend to my job.

I was thinking of leaving early, as in now, to get a head start on the day. But I remembered, my mom wants to ride with me going out of the village. So I had to abandon that idea.

So I'll just try to put in some work from home now and leave the house at a "reasonable" time. Then we have a big hearing for a big client in the afternoon. The courthouse is near my house so I'll probably be back home early also.

Hopefully, this day will be better than yesterday.

Got to go. Catch you later.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
