Current mood:

sick

Waved the white flag on NaNo sometime around Thanksgiving, after reaching 15k words. The problem with NaNo is that it's in November, and I always start out the month strong, but as it gets closer to December I get caught up in other things - holiday things that I like and enjoy and look forward to every year. So when it comes down to writing or putting up my Christmas tree or making a dish to take to Thanksgiving or going shopping for gifts...the writing just doesn't look as attractive.

Maybe my priorities are skewed. Or maybe I just lack self-discipline (no news there.)

Home sick today with a bad headcold. Was thinking about going in for a couple hours this afternoon to get some work done if I felt better, but I think I'll just skip it and crunch tomorrow. My brain still feels foggy, although I do feel a bit better as far as the nose and throat go. Of course, I also slept for about 13 hours, from 10pm last night to noon-thirty today, minus the hour or so I was awake at 4am. Had tomato soup, crackers, and bread with jam for lunch; think I may eat a grapefruit as well. Go, vitamin C, go!

I think, post-grapefruit, I shall try to write. Because why not? Not like there's anything on TV to distract me from feeling brain-dead. *blows nose at daytime TV*
