Whatever that means. (^_^)

Four out of the last five days were what I would call Bad Days. No brain, no energy, cramps, etc. Feeling out of sorts. I had a good day tucked in among the bad days, but I didn’t necessarily feel like I feel today, which is more or less, normal.

I’m not sure that I can quantify it better than that. There’s a switch or something inside that has been reset. Barring illness, I should have all good days between now and the start of my next cycle.

Note: I haven’t actually menstruated yet. This has all been PMS. My hope is that if/when my cycle actually starts, it will be a non-event and not yet another bad day.

Despite having so many bad days last week, I still made my 15K words writing goal for the week. This is because A) I count my blog words as part of my writing goal (publicly consumable words) and B) The sliding count I use.

Because I have that sliding goal, on the really bad days, when I felt awful, I was still able to write. I only expect 500 words on the bad days, and yet I managed 700-1000 those days. But that is because I am not expecting myself to write 3000, which would be an impossible task on the bad days. It’s part of that shift in focus to what CAN I do those days.

Today I will try to get as many words as I can. The final part of the construction will take place today – with the guys digging a trench around the existing box, lining it with weed paper, then filling the trench with gravel. I will need to be out there supervising more, which means more interruptions. Still, goal is 3000 words today.

I’ll have tomorrow to write, and possibly some on Thursday. Then the mystery workshop will start. I’ll be writing for that – so I’m assuming some words. Not sure how many.

Still, it’s good to feel as though I’m back to normal today. I hope your week is going swimmingly!
