The One With The Elusive Summer Cold

Me: *Cough, cough* I can't write. I'm sick. WIP*: BOO, you whore! Me: :O
Sniffle. Hear that? It's my nose! It's doing such fabulous things right now like impairing my ability to enjoy oxygen and return CO2 to the air. It's also doing this great thing called post nasal drip and everyone who has ever had it knows how much fun THAT is.

Not!

I think this cold has been upon me since Sunday. And I've mostly...sort of...barely been pushing through it. Last night the word count was dismal. As in, I wrote a few hundred words.

Sensing how slow the progress was going and that maybe what I really needed was rest and an early start today, I left the cafe BEFORE they kicked me out (oh there are stories!) and went to bed.

So here's to another mind-blowing word count day. Fingers crossed that my extra bit of sleep allows me to push past the cold. And also what has suddenly become a daunting word count.

How are you guys doing?

*Yes my WIP looks like Regina George! Because that's what life-ruiners look like. Or...things you love to pieces but are just terrified you won't finish by your deadline.

  1. Try making some Matzo ball soup. Works every time! (Oh, you can minus the chicken and stuff that's non-vegan), still tastes great.

    Word count over here is dismal. Can you spell, pro-cras-ti-nate? I can. Really, really well. LOL

    Hope you feel better soon Frankie!

    1. Ooooh that would be good--matzo ball soup is sort of tough to veganize, but doable. Haha we're like the un-cheerleaders. Give me a P! Give me an R! Give me an O! Oh...later? Tomorrow? That's cool...*shakes pom poms*

    1. Yeah. It's like...it's MAY! Hello. Colds are supposed to be a winter thing.

  3. I sat down an hour ago to revise. So far, I went outside to call someone, ordered a refill, and went online to compare prices for a few things I need. So I'd say I'm doing well, no?

    1. Thanks, Christine. And you too! Hmmm I feel like if you're sick too something must be going around. I'm trying to whoop it's butt, but my life is NOT slowing down anytime soon. Seriously...must find time to rest.
