Well, I was only intending to work two or three days this week, but even that hasn't worked out very well. I've done my typical thing of underestimating my need for rest/recovery, mixed with the fact that this is also a holiday week making things around the house a bit more unsettled. Add that to the fact that I somehow lost a couple of drafts I was working on just before the break and it's been a pretty dead week.
That's okay, though. I was planning on working, but not counting on much getting done. I was counting on a newsletter, which hasn't happened through a combination of rather boring if frustrating technical problems and having a lot to say but lacking the cogency to say it. I think that'll be an "early next week" thing. January and the new year will start in earnest next week.
The State of the Me
Doing okay? It's been really hard to settle into a routine regarding sleep, food, exercise, and pills in the wake of the holidays. Today's been the closest thing to normal yet.
Plans For Today
I really need to do some writing today, not because of deadline pressure but because I need to be writing and I'm not. There's a lot of inertia involved in the writing process, of the "Object in motion tends to stay in motion, object at rest tends to stay at rest" variety. I'm so rusty at this point that I think it's going to be random/free writing, but who knows?
