Well I thought I had this cold licked earlier on in the week but this dry hacking cough has really started to annoy me. I have some medicine that seems to temporarily sort it out but only for a short stint.
I spent a lot of the day sorting out my music collection and talking to my colleague about our forthcoming venture. He is off to China tomorrow for a couple of weeks, then he arrives back as I go into Hospital and so we probably wont see each other until the weekend following that. At least we can go out for a meal or something and start to get our plans straightened out.
We have a mamoth task ahead of us in the next 6 months and have deliberately pressurised ourselves to do this. I'm happy that my present employers feel strongly enough to retain me so I can be of use on special projects which is just great as some of the big stuff Ii have instigated does need to be followed up and a lot of the information needs to be dragged out of my head and on to paper for them. Something I intend to start committing to paper as soon as.
I feel bad about leaving but I have to undertake this journey for the next 6 or 7 months. The opportunity is good enough to take the risk and from what I know of my own personality I need to put the right amount of "stress" or "risk" into the venture so that it engages me full time. Unlike the last time I went and invested a lot of my time, this time it is completely in my own hands on whether I make it or not.
I have a friend who I trust, we have both been through the Cancer trials and tribulations - at the same time and we have built our pre-cancer friendship to new levels. We have worked together before and we have different but complimentary skills which is great. Plenty of checks and balances are in place along with loads of experience too.
It is going to be an interesting year and an interesting journey - well it will be when this rib cracking cough stops - ouch :-)
