Well, the first month of 2025 found the TSR household down for the count. My husband and I rarely get sick but when we do, it lingers. And the cold, damp, gray, rainy days did not help. In between bouts of chills and coughing and making sure the palm trees outside were not covered in snow, I’d sing “Tomorrow” from Annie, like some prayer of desperation. (And believe me, if I’m attempting to sing, it’s a desperate situation.)
So, pretty much all momentum was lost around here, but although we were down, we are not out!
WRITING
My Write 25 in 25 helped me keep at writing, even with being sick. It’s mostly been sessions of 2-5 minutes since that was about all I could focus on.
READING
I was in a bit of a reading slump, but then the fun, twisty thriller, Cross My Heart by Megan Collins pulled me in and wouldn’t let go.
WATCHING
TV – We finished our re-watch of "LA Law"! We definitely enjoyed the first bunch of seasons, and even though it kind of fell apart after that, it was still fun. We’re now re-watching/watching "The West Wing." My husband and I both remember starting this series when it first came out but neither of us can remember if we ever finished it.
Movie – although it felt kind of long, we liked "Conclave." The acting was good. And, of course, we enjoyed the turtles.
*****
How do you get your focus and/or momentum back after being sick? Have you read or watched anything that broke through a slump for you?
Sorry you were sick. Cold and damp never helps.
ReplyDeleteWe should go back and watch LA Law. Enjoyed it when it was in its first run.
Thanks, Alex. My husband and I are very fortunate in that we - usually! - don't get sick too often.
DeleteWe really did enjoy re-watching LA Law. And it was a lot of fun seeing so many guest stars and character actors.
