The 9th, I was really sick with a cold and didn't manage much of anything at except kind of staring at the wall. I did manage to more or less kick the cold to the curb.
The 10th, I have no idea what I did. Possibly beta reading? Figuring out Yuletide related stuff?
The 11th, I got a last minute phone call asking if I could come in several months early for a neurology appointment I'd been waiting for. That appointment, combined with getting to my daughter's school for parent-teacher conferences, ate the whole day.
The 12th, my husband started a nasty cough from the cold we'd both caught from our daughter. I had tried a new medication the night before and was kind of horrifically groggy. I'll be trying the medication again, at least once more. I may have had a slight allergic reaction to it, but it might also simply have been my body being weird or leftovers from my cold.
The 13th, I made a lot of throat coat tea and made sure my husband had food. He wasn't really able to do much but sit and cough. I think there was more beta reading.
The 14th, we did the grocery shopping (normally my husband's job, but he wasn't up to doing it alone) and the library run. That kind of did us all in. I did more beta reading.
Yesterday, my daughter's school had an evening fundraiser. My attempts to get out there kept running into delays as I missed bus connections. I got three loads of laundry done, though, and changed our sheets.
Somewhere in there, I wrote 177 words of my day 7 prompt (it's far from done) and came up with names for my day 5 prompt. I also wrote 814 words of something completely unrelated to any of my prompts, and I signed up for Yuletide.
I utterly dropped the ball on another beta read I'd promised to do. I feel bad about that and need to talk to the author. They found someone else, but I should have been more organized.
