• Thoughts:My allergies were awful today. I was trying to treat a scratchy throat for much of the day and just overall felt more than a little off. Somehow I managed to sit down and write in the evening and I was so glad I got something done.
• Tomorrow’s goal: All I can hope for is a reasonably quiet day so I can get some writing done. Getting the allergies to go away would be nice too.

• Thoughts: I had to struggle to get the words out today. Time wasn’t much of an issue today. Allergies acting up did throw a bit of a wrench in my plans. It happens at some point every spring. The weather has been topsy-turvy this year so I can’t be too surprised about it starting in late March.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully my allergies won’t be as bad and I’ll feel like getting more done. As long as I’m not stuck with a sinus headache or a runny nose to rival a cold, I think I’ll be okay.

• Thoughts: My allergies were still trying to kick my butt. The only reason I say trying is because I did manage to get some things done.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Write more! As long as my allergies don’t get significantly worse, I think it is more than possible.

• Thoughts: Allergies are still there. It’s not fun. I’m just trying to keep moving forward so I don’t get myself mired down by 0 word count days right before the start of Camp NaNoWriMo.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully I’ll feel a bit better. I’m not counting on my allergies just disappearing overnight. I have errands to run in the morning and once I’m back home, I’m not sure how much time I’ll need to recover. I’ll do my best to write something.

• Thoughts: It wasn’t a good day for writing. Going outside for errands only made my allergies worse. I was completely run down by the time we made it home. Pretty much the rest of my to-do list for the day got set aside. I just didn’t have the energy to make anything happen.
• Tomorrow’s goal: Hopefully I will feel better and get a good start to Camp NaNoWriMo.

• Thoughts: My sinuses were still very angry with me today. I probably should have spent the day resting in hopes of feeling okay enough to write before bedtime since I usually have my longest stretches of focus in the late evening, but I cleaned the house all morning instead. After that, I pretty much collapsed into a heap for the rest of the day. Fortunately, I rallied enough to participate in making supper. Then I fell asleep for 3 hours around 8 pm. I won’t be stay up all night either so back to bed I’ll go soon.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I’m going to do a lot less. That sounds a bit counterproductive, but I’m hoping I’ll have energy left over for the time of day I know I’ll be able to write best.

• Thoughts: I wrote more! That’s better. It’s not great. I’m still not where I need to be for Camp NaNoWriMo, but I don’t feel as absolutely miserable as I did the past few days. This huge allergy flareup seems to be dying down. Maybe the rain on Saturday helped with pollen levels or something. As long as I get some relief, I don’t really care what’s going on outside that helped.
• Tomorrow’s goal: I want to continue to feel better so I can get back on track for Camp. Being behind so early in the month bothers me, but I did set a low enough goal to hopefully be able to get back on track within a day or two.
