My son was sick the last two days--just a mild cold, but he was drippy and sneezy enough to stay home. Of course he was as happy as a clam, and spent at least two hours each day playing one particular online naval battle game. He also watched The Magic School Bus, a great education-and-adventure program for kids, with Lily Tomlin as the daffy and unflappable schoolteacher, Ms. Frizzle. He did some writing each day, and a smattering of math, and we did quite a bit of reading; he also went to his programming class...overall, he was a very good boy during these two days...nevertheless, my morale is low today, because I lost two days of writing/editing time (except for brief snatches while he was doing the online game) and now I feel like I'm never going to finish and get the stories out.
I know that I shouldn't feel that way. I have four hours to call my own today, another three hours tomorrow.
For some reason I haven't slept well all week, and that's probably the real reason morale is low. Oh, and also--ate five cookies yesterday.
This low-sugar diet is much harder for me than getting daily exercise...I hate saying it again, but I'll have to start all over. Today is the first day (again) of the low-sugar diet. No heavily sweetened foods for six months, no more than 20 grams of sugar a day (increasing the total amount just a bit), and no more than 10 grams at any one time.
