So Thursday\u00a0morning, I came back from the gym after running 2.5 miles\u00a0on the treadmill and promptly fell asleep for half an hour. Later that evening, I went for a walk and found myself out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs. For some reason, I was having difficulty getting air into my lungs. No other symptoms, though, so I chalked it up to the inversion and took an alka seltzer to clear things up.<\/p>\n
Friday, I woke up with a complete lack of desire to go anywhere or to do anything. The day was mostly a wash, though I did get up to Salt Lake to see my sister who was attending Rootstech 2017. On the way, I started coming down with a mild headache. Also, minor congestion.<\/p>\n
Saturday was when the plague finally struck me.<\/p>\n
Congestion, massive headache, unbelievable chills\u2014the whole works. I spent most of the day in bed, with a blanket, a quilt, and a down comforter all piled on top of me, and I still didn’t feel warm enough. Drank lots of water and took a bunch of medicine, but I was still in a pretty bad way\u00a0through most of Sunday.<\/p>\n
As things stand right now, I’ve still got a headache and I’m coughing up all kinds of nastiness, but it seems that the worst has passed. Still popping vitamin Cs and drinking piss-tons of water, which isn’t fun, but at least I’m getting better.<\/p>\n
No idea how that’s going to impact things this week. Hopefully, I’m back on my feet and writing again relatively soon, but that may or may not be the case.<\/p>\n
Either way, there’s still a lot of prewriting to do before I can start my next WIP,\u00a0Edenfall.<\/strong> I need to reread\u00a0Genesis Earth<\/strong> and really immerse myself in that universe. I also\u00a0plan to look over the reviews\u00a0and spend a day or two picking over tvtropes like a menu. If I can line everything up the way I want to, I should be able to write a really clean first draft and publish it before the end of the year.<\/p>\n No promises, though. I’m still not sure when this sickness is going to go away. Hopefully soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So Thursday\u00a0morning, I came back from the gym after running 2.5 miles\u00a0on the treadmill and promptly fell asleep for half an hour.
