Post blogger Keith Hemstreet found himself laid up in bed for an entire day this week. “These days life moves at hyper-speed,” writes Hemstreet. “I constantly feel as though I am racing to complete one task just so I can move on to the next. I am never caught up. But this week nature put the brakes on my frantic pace. I woke Wednesday around 4 AM, vomited and continued to do so for the next six hours. I called in sick to work. I cancelled a meeting I had scheduled after work. Suddenly, my day was free and clear. I had nothing to do, but be sick. Oh, the potential, I thought. A day to myself. All work and responsibilities on hold. The things I could accomplish, if only I didn’t feel like I was going to die.”
