Today marks day 7 of daily shortform writing, tomorrow will mark day 8, and so on :)
Yay for one week of daily shortform writing! Feels like a nice accomplishment, now I’m aiming for one month.
In an “ironic for 2020” turn of events, I did not contract COVID from the family Christmas gathering, no, that test came back negative thankfully. I contracted the plain ol’ flu instead, and this is probably why I was so tired yesterday and why my ear has been hurting. Much of today was spent resting and the other half of it was spent at the doctor trying to get diagnosed and there was quite a long wait time. The time waiting was well spent because I am within the 48 hour window of onset of flu symptoms which means the antiviral tamiflu will shorten the duration and lessen the intensity of my flu experience, so I was prescribed that and another thing or two.
I did not exercise today, and probably won’t exercise tomorrow other than a light walk outside at some point.
I’m focusing on resting and feeling better so I’m not sure how much of my ToDo I’ll make myself do tomorrow, seems like something to “play by ear” so to say, but also literally in my case while fighting off the flu and the pain it’s causing in my right ear. The only thing I’m going to ensure I make myself do is respond to lots of messages since I can do that from bed, and I want to respond to said messages.
If you’re reading this and you’ve been feeling bad, or off, or avoiding taking care of something that’s making your life worse, go take care of that thing and yourself. #Selfcare is necessary, very important, and just a good thing to do.
Gratitude of the day: Thanks to all the time spent waiting at the doctor’s office, I got more reading of NeuroTribes done and reading that helped make the waiting time pass by quickly and enjoyably.
