Thus far this weekend, I’ve grappled with a small-scale headache and decided that after lunch, I would take a nap in the hope of clearing it up completely. I slept for an hour and a half. While I feel better, I also feel guilty that I napped and didn’t get all of my grading and class prep done that I intended to finish today. I realized that I see this headache, which is beyond my control, as a personal failure. Further, I need to compensate for that failure by working harder, staying up later, and feeling guilty about not taking care of teaching things in a timely manner.
What if I could just accept that I had a headache, like I might accept that I got stuck in traffic, or had a power outage? What, if anything, you would like to just accept and make peace with, even though it’s beyond your control? If you have an ongoing story here, what might your character accept and let go?
Let us know how your week went, and what your plans are for the week ahead.

2) take the time next weekend to clean the kitchen and do meal prep properly, so I have good food to get me through the following week. Continue to aim for 5 fruit and veg a day, plenty of water, no bread, and sugar only in high cocoa dark chocolate type stuff apart from one small thing per day (which needs eating up - good excuse eh?).
3) spend an hour with my NaNo writing, because I enjoy it
4) answer three emails to research collaborators this week, and otherwise not worry about research things, just put them onto a list for future reference (ugh)...
