TIFU By Letting My Mania Get Out of Control

Well, it was really yesterday that I messed up. Well, more like over the last few days. I really do think I was manic now. Looking back, I lacked a lot of impulse control. For me, that means I actually wrote my real opinion about things in forums which is never a good thing. I've learned over the y...

Much Writing Work Done

I'm now looking good to start NaNoWriMo. I had wanted to have up through chapter 52 ready to go and then I would start writing from chapter 53. For a while it was looking like I would be writing 49 and 50 along with 53 onwards and scrambling to edit the earlier chapters come November, but I buckled ...

Gave Up On Quarantine

So I'm back to just doing my normal thing in the house instead of quarantining for two weeks. Apparently, the oldest daughter started feeling sick Monday morning at work and the 10yo started feeling sick yesterday and the baby now has a runny nose because he sleeps in the same bed as his mama (the o...

Lots of Work Done Followed By No Sleeping

Despite being sick, yesterday turned out to be a good day for writing. I wrote several blog posts that I backdated to fill in the gaps from the last week--mostly stuff about my health and being sick. That started off the writing wave. Usually doing that and my journal entry here just wears me out me...

Still Not That Sick...

Still not that sick, but I'm sick enough. It sucks. Now the cold is in my chest so I'm coughing up phlegm. Ick. And my nose was super stuffed up this morning. If this gets into my sinuses... ugh. I only have decongestant pills left which means I have to explain over text to my husband how to get mor...

New Symptoms But Still Not That Sick

Woke up with a stuffy nose and slight cough this morning. Not too bad. If COVID wasn't going around I would shrug it off and just continue on with my life, but because of this pandemic, I have to take all these extra precautions just in case. Such as not leaving my room and minimal contact with my f...

And Now I'm Sick

Like I need more stress. Everything was fine all day yesterday. I made some pea soup for dinner (which had no leftovers--apparently my grandson loved it) after the 17yo cleaned the kitchen for some reason. Then around 7 or 8pm, I noticed my throat was a little scratchy. I thought maybe it was from ...

Health Update: Sleep Edition

I didn't get around to writing an entry here yesterday. I decided to hold off and do it after my doctor's appointment. I should have known better. There was a reason I switched to doing them in the morning after I first got up--I just get too tired later in the day to do anything. My dad did not st...

Trying To Get Some Work Done

I decided to not go downstairs during the morning Zoom lessons because my husband is home and will be playing video games. Which means I'm working at my desk. It doesn't mean I'm getting much done. I did try. Before I did this journal entry or anything else really, I opened the chapter I'm supposed ...

I Miss the Coffee Shops

I'm not a very social person offline (and barely social online) and have severe social anxiety that keeps me from making friends or doing social things. But I do occasionally like to go to coffee houses where I write. Mostly I do this alone, but with NaNoWriMo coming up in a couple weeks, I'm really...

Getting Nothing Done Today

It's nearly 10am, and I haven't gotten anything done yet today because my oldest daughter and grandson are in the room. I guess luckily the 10yo went upstairs to do his zoom meetings instead of staying down here. Now she's playing Sims. I try to use the two hours in the morning that the 10yo does ...

Finished a Big Project

I didn't really do much on Sunday. I woke up kind of late (for me) then finished a little blanket I made for the cats (I got too sleepy to finish the last round of border the night before) and was still in the mood to do more crochet/knitting so after I did my illness journal and stuff, I pulled out...
