OK, so I caught a cold.
On the one hand, this pretty much means I spent most of last week in bed. A couple interesting things come out of this...
The first is the reminder that, while I've been chronically ill for a couple of years now, I really haven't been sick - as in caught a cold or whatever - very often during that span. Certainly less often than I would be sick while I was healthy. Points for resting and taking care of myself, I guess.
The second is that I actually felt more relaxed, at ease and generally better about life last week, while I was sick, than I have for the past several weeks. That's interesting, isn't it. I think, in part, it was due to the fact that I stopped putting expectations on myself and just let myself feel what I felt. Hopefully, I'll take that lesson. :)
In other news, I got a couple of chapters of Wyrd Tales - Bad Moon Rising posted and came up with a new ambition for that. I'm going to aim at posting one chapter a week, on Wednesdays... with the option of posting a bonus chapter on Fridays if I end up with too big a backlog or am just too eager to post. I hope, by giving myself this ambition, I'll be encouraged to write (which is good exercise for the little grey cells) but I won't feel pressured to churn out multiple chapters a week. Also, I should be able to build up a backlog of drafts so that I can have something to post on weeks when I'm not feeling well.
Still feeling a little under the weather, so... resting.
Onward
