The Daily Report
So, yesterday went kind of weird and badly for two reasons, both of which have to do with a gap in my pills. I ran out of some of my daily supplements on Monday. Usually I'd order them well in advance, but things have been... unsettled. So the first time I found out was when I was filling out my pill box on Monday. Two of them are ginkgo and ginseng, which I take just to wake up in the morning and give myself a little focus. The other is 5-HTP, which I take so I can feel human emotions. It also helps me sleep.
The gin/gin wasn't a big deal to miss for a few days, but I think missing the 5-HTP for a few days is why my mood basically cratered yesterday.
Luckily the package with them arrived early yesterday evening, so I'm back on track with that now. The package is the other reason yesterday ended up being so can'tastic... when I'm expecting a package, I'm pretty useless. Easily distracted, can't bury myself in writing the way I need to.
I actually felt bad enough about the delay that last night was basically a series of nightmares about it, with my adult life being remixed with things like not having homework done for my least favorite elementary school teacher. I spent so much of the night dwelling inwardly on the subject that I woke up this morning sure it was Friday and that I'd delayed it twice.
The State of the Me
Actually pretty good today. I also figured an adjustment to my other supplements, based on something I tried as a workaround while I was missing the 5-HTP. It ended up being not so helpful in the absence of that, but I think it might have a beneficial effect in conjunction with it.
Plans For Today
I've got a much better handle on things today, but I also have stuff I need to get done to make sure I'm leaving this house in the same condition where I found it, which by the cold light of morning is making me a little hesitant to say the chapter will go up today, as opposed to tomorrow when I have absolutely nothing else going on. I think it will, but either way, I'm not going to angst over it. I'm not going to publish something I'm not happy with as the sole chapter for the week.
