Creating something from nothing is always a challenge. Today I have been sick in all the wrong ways, which called for creating something from something else. Normal rules need not apply.

Unlike my typical day, I woke with a bed-fellow, which I deduce is a cousin of the Russian influenza. Just like a Russian who invites them self over, it hasn’t been so terrible, though I do feel an invasion of my private space. Predictably (and typical for such house-guests), it cooks but never cleans. In my case my lungs have been boiled and everything else is a mess.

So, first thing this morning I created baby-step goals for myself:

5 Lists to Create While Sick

1. List Things That I Dislike About Being Sick
2. Bathroom-Related Products I Should Buy
3. Organizing Shoes: 25 Steps
4. People With Birthdays in January, and How to Say “Sorry I Forgot”
5. 10 Methods to Intellectually Stimulate the Cat

While only satisfactorily crossing one of them off of my list, I count the creation of the list as a personal accomplishment in itself.
