I need to reset this week’s work flow.

Because clearly I’m not generating enough of it. It’s basically a conflicting goals issue; I need the time off, and I also need the time to catch up. Probably I should try isolating out my actual writing goals and trying to put some scheduling rigor on them?

Or something. Or even just blow off the week and not try to get anything done. At least then I’d be taking more naps or something.

I should just take a couple of days off.

I’m feeling better, but I’m still feverish — and now my youngest has an earache.  Having eliminated the usual cancer/pregnancy* diagnoses from the Internet, it still looks like my kids are going to have a miserable couple of days.  And I’m kind of tired.

*Everything is a symptom of pregnancy. We discovered that during my wife’s first one. Seriously, check it out on the Internet sometime.

Calling it early today.

One of my kids is sick — luckily, he got to the bathroom in time — and the other one thinks that he might be.  And I’m feeling sniffly myself, and my wife is tired, and it’s exactly the right amount of time from Monday, when my youngest would have gotten exposed to the viral stew which is your average county-wide kid’s program. We may not be going anywhere this weekend, after all.

So… music, and then bed, I think.

Early night tonight, because of mood.

I’ve been spending most of the last twenty-four hours finding new and exciting places where one of my kids managed to throw up. I’ll spare you the messy, but thankfully not gory, details; suffice it to say that by now I smell of disinfectant.

Dammit, they got their flu shots.  For all the freaking good that they did us. Then again, these were twenty-four bugs — yeah, my other kid did this last week, only in the middle of a car trip — so it probably wasn’t the flu anyway.  Still, I’m pretty much done now. I’m gonna find a video to play and call it a day.

Not a great day, sorry.

A kind of cut-your-losses-and-reset-the-clock day, although nothing truly awful happened today. So, I’m cutting my losses, resetting the clock, getting some sleep, and starting over tomorrow. Sorry, but it happens.
