It has been a while since I have updated the blog. We have been very busy in the last month here at the Lab. Lots of new work, and preparations for an event at Robbins Library here in Arlington. So, we haven’t had much time.

But after this past week, I learned a VERY important lesson. A lesson that I want to pass on. Starting last weekend, I began to feel slow, tired and weak. By the time Monday rolled around, I had a full blown flu. You know, one of the wintery delights that we get to experience here in the cold climates. Ache, sniffles, fever, the whole works. Each day this week, I got out of bed, sat in front of the computer and tried to force work to get done. Well, it didn’t happen. I struggled all week with getting anything done. And each time I tried, I just got sicker.

This was a culmination of many months of working 12-16 hour days, lack of real rest and lack of any sort of relaxation.

So, my advice to you if you run a small business, is to take a step back for a while, get rested, and come back with a vengeance. So, Monique and I have decided to go on vacation to rest up, feel better, and most importantly, come back ready to go!
