As some of you may or may not know, I’ve had some issues with chronic migraines that FINALLY seem to be resolving. (The short version: have had migraines since I was 18. Went from 0-3 migraines a month to 12-15, suddenly and without warning. After 13 months, have managed to get my migraines back down
Have managed to come down with a summer cold. Am all sniffly and congested. Feeling better today. Last night was feeling as though I’d been run over by a truck or something. *le sigh* HOWEVER. This is only the second time that I’ve been sick this year. There’s a good chance that this will be
I’ve been sick this week. Really sick. This is probably the sickest I’ve been since 2009, when I have pneumonia. Wednesday was the worst. I had a high fever, I know I got confused, and I lost process. I forgot to brush my teeth that night. Now, that may not sound like much to some,

I found I was starting to slow down a little. It was around dinner time, but I wasn’t hungry. In fact, once I stopped pushing myself, I realized I was exhausted. And my throat hurt. And I was getting congested. I think I’m sick. Or on the verge of being sick. I’m doing everything I

Friday/Saturday I had what I think was a 24-hour flu, the kind where every muscle aches and you’re exhausted, but can still think. Or at least I could, and I could still write. So I was able to finish last week’s story on time. This week I’ve come down with something different, a pretty nasty
I’ve been really good this week about getting up early and writing. The short story ended up being about 8500 words, and I wrote it all out by hand over four days. This morning I could not wake up. It wasn’t that I was exhausted so much as I couldn’t get my brain to start.
Sunday I moved all my stuff into the new house. It’s nice having all my stuff in the same place, for the first time since October of last year. Most of what I’m unpacking I look at and think, “Cool! I’m so glad that’s still in my life!” There are a few things though that
I know this isn’t the first time I’ve been sick since last year’s pneumonia. I had a cold at some point last year. But this is the first time I’ve been moderate-to-very sick. It started with a sore throat on Monday, and for the first 24 hours could barely manage a whisper. Then it moved
