Have you ever started downloading a large file, only to have the progress bar stop at 98 percent? 

I have.  And this forces a decision:  Abort and retry?  Wait and see if the transfer resumes?  Scream at your monitor?  Give up?

Feels lately like I’m at 98 percent.  A lot of pots are bubbling on my burner.  Have to wrap up dive training.  Need to finish a contract job that’s overdue.  Need to do the last of my prep work for the new business.  Need to get back to running regularly.  Need to finally leave the hospital.

And yet … I sit.  Decision time.
