Update

Those of you who are attentive will notice that days fifty three and fifty four are conspicuously absent. Unfortunately I've been recovering from a stomach bug which I do not think gets to constitute having "created" a bug for the day. I had anticipated that I might be sick during this 365 day period but my assumption was that I would be sneezing and coughing and would just have to push through if that happened. The fact is that I never expected to be laying on the bathroom floor incapable of standing on my own much less creating more than fever induced delusions. What does this all mean then? This is my project and my rules I suppose and I left them pretty loose so that I could be successful. Nevertheless the essense of this endevour was to create a bug every day for the year. I did not set up this project like Julie Powell where she could take a day off now and again as long as she completed all the recipes in the Art of French Cooking by the deadline. Basically what I'm saying is that I have failed to complete the mission. Regardless, the project has not been a failure. I've made it nearly two months and have gained some valuable insight and a few new skills.

I think what I will do is take the next 24 hours to decide how I would like to proceed. I'm just starting to feel a bit like myself again so I will need the time to think clearly and decide. I guess we'll break for a word from our sponsors then. Stay tuned...
