• Thoughts: I wrote more than I thought I would. I’m still sick. Trying to fight it off, but it’s so hard to stay motivated when all I want to do is sleep.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Feel better. Write. Read. I’m trying not to set the bar too high. I want to feel better, not worse.

• Thoughts: Ugh. I’m still not in the best shape. My word count is suffering. I’m behind on housework. I feel like entire days are slipping through my fingers as I try to get a grip. I’m not enjoying this reminder that my health can spiral out of control so easily.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Get over this cold so I can get back to my life.

• Thoughts: I’m making myself show up to write every day. It’s not causing me to produce a lot of words, but I’m hoping to at least keep up the habit of a writing routine so I can dive back in when I’m healthy enough to get back into it.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Write! Feel better!

• Thoughts: Well, I wrote. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, but after everything being a wreck from when I was sick it’s really hard.
