It started last Wednesday, when I felt like I hardly accomplished anything. I chalked it up as a wasted day, and promised myself I’d do better on Thursday. Instead, the sore throat, sinus pressure, and congested nose that I woke up with on Thursday made it clear that Wednesday was not so much an aberration, but instead the start of a late summer cold. Ick.
On the plus side, not having a job to report to means I don’t have to answer for losing productivity for a few days. On the down side, I don’t have time for this nonsense right now! I’m in hustle mode! A week of brain fog is not what I need.
Oh well. I should be on the back end of this nonsense now. Usually I try and keep running through my summer cold, this time I pretty much just shut down. We’ll see if this works any better. I’m looking forward to getting back on schedule this week. To keep my skills sharp, it’s probably time I started participating in some challenges over on topcoder.com.
