Habit Tracking: Week 08 (February 15 - February 21)
Happy year of the horse! Lunar new year was on Tuesday the 17th. This sticker is a Prezwalski horse by artist Featherbone.
This week was kind of a drag. The week started with the extremely sad news about my friend spikedluv passing away. While she'd passed away a couple weeks ago, I didn't learn about it until Sunday, and I very much miss her presence. I'm still sick, and at this point I'm just tired of it dragging on! I'm coughing a lot, and I'm tired, and I'm going through kleenex way faster than I'd like. Otherwise I feel mostly okay, but I'm just so tired of it, ha. Alex and I did have a lovely day on Monday, visiting the botanic gardens, but everything else was pretty blah. I did push through to get a lot done on Saturday, which sort of felt like it redeemed the do-nothing of the rest of the week, but I still did very little writing and am frustrated by how slow reading has been.
Goals for the week:
- I did not finish reading Hell Bent, though I did read some almost every night
- I did work on reviews
- We did pet-sit for mom and Taylor
- We went to the botanic gardens as a bit of a belated Valentine's day
- I did not make my phone calls
- I did not work on my reading page
- I did not work on my WIP outline
- I did water my plants. My poor plants.
Tracked habits:
- Work - 5/7
- Household Maintenance - 5/7
- Physical Activity - 3/7

- Reading - 7/7 - mostly I read Hell Bent, though I read a bit of my ebook; Alex and I read some of The Luminous Dead

Though I award this week of yours a solid 0/10 otherwise for the awful news and unrelenting cold/cough/thing. :( (Minus the botanic gardens outing with Alex, that sounds delightful, but hard to rate in a week like the above sounds...)

Unfortunately it wasn't a better week. I did see at least one post to the effect of "hey, good news! Lunar New Year means that everything in 2026 up until now didn't count!" Crossing my fingers that things improve, haha.

Be patient with yourself! You almost died! and then you had a big operation, and a bereavement. Any one of those things would take months to years to get over, and you're trying to get back to normal in weeks? Maybe allow yourself a bit more rest and sleeping. Your body will thank you :)
(Sorry - I nag because I worry.)

It absolutely wasn't! You've been through an ordeal, so you deserve to go a bit slower and - as you say - give yourself some grace :)

It really did suck!
