It’s now three days since I first called the doctor. No return call Monday, and the second I went off to the pharmacy (ironically) yesterday she called. I’m taking meds I know will make me feel deathly sick again, but until she changes things up, I’ve no choice. I’m taking anti-nausea meds, but who knows…

Rule of Absolutes
Yesterday was somewhat fruitful. I got the bones of the article set up and I worked through the intro and the “supporting” evidence for that intro. About then I had to stop for a client call. After that, I had to stop because my body said so. Anyone who knows me knows I follow one…
Marginal Monday
It’s funny how the cure can sometimes be as bad as the ailment. I started taking the second antibiotic on Thursday and felt somewhat better on Friday – enough to accompany the husband to Pittsburgh. By Saturday morning it was clear something wasn’t working. My head was throbbing (sinus infection), my face was hot, the…
Fried Fridays
Yesterday was a complete wash. I was feverish, achy, and I couldn’t sit upright for any length of time. When that happens, I put up the “away” message and listen to the body. The doctor tossed one more antibiotic into the mix, and within two doses things were beginning to clear up. Today, mostly rest….
Five Risks Writers Should Take
I wish these antibiotics would take hold – I’m still feeling achy and weak, though my headaches have cleared up and I don’t feel as feverish. I have one more article to finish, then I can relax a little until the next surge comes. I was thinking about risk management this week – of course,…
Monthly Assessment: February 2012
Happy Leap Day! It feels good to have one extra day in the year, especially with a full workload. What are you doing for Leap Day? I’m currently pumped up with antibiotics and eager to get back to feeling 100 percent. Lingering infections are just a pain in the neck (and back and arms and…
The Very Limited Offer
Even feeling like I’d been pushed through a sieve, I managed to get a good deal finished yesterday. I drafted a client newsletter, got an article to a point where I need only drop in one more quote, and wrote the first draft of the 31 Days to Trade Magazine Profits webinar. I still feel…
Monday, Monday….
Head on over to John Soare’s Productive Writers blog for his interview with me and a review of my e-book, Marketing 365. Thanks, John! You’re one of my absolute favorites, too. 🙂 For once, I’m rather glad the weekend is over. I spent much of yesterday fighting off an excruciating headache. It’s amazing how closely…
With a Little Help From My Friends
Today is going to be nutso busy. I got an call from a friend in crisis, who needs backup on a project ASAP, plus I have a meeting that will take up most of the day (and one I’m looking forward to in order to escape the madness). I feel like I’m earning a vacation…
Are You Partner-Worthy?
Pretty good day yesterday. I worked through another section of my article, lined up a few more interviews, had a conference call, and handled a few small client items. I got some marketing in, but not as much as I’d have liked. The conference call was with dear chum Anne Wayman and another writer who’s…
