Or how illness kiboshed my plans for world domination

So, a few days ago I put it out there that I was planning to write on Medium every day this month. I had every intention of sticking to it. I was all fired up. I had a plan of what I was going to write.

And then I got sick.

It’s not a serious illness. I have a really nasty cold or some sort of flu-like illness (Covid? No idea). Anyway, I managed to write on October 1, but yesterday … well that was a bit of a bust.

I’m still not fully over this, but following a hot bath last night and a day of rest, I am feeling better.

Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be almost back to full power.

Anyway, this just goes to show that sometimes your plans can just be scuppered by something so simple as the cold bug!

But, here’s what I’m not going to do. I’m not going to let it faze me. I’m not going to give up my plans. I’m not going to give up.

What I am going to do is get better and start my article a day for a month plan again, starting today. This is it. My head is still a little too fuzzy to put together an article about writing, but I can talk about how I’m feeling.

Right, I am away to take some Paracetamol and get a hot drink. Cough, cough.
