The tyranny of expectation

Examining the source of my malcontent, during a period of illness 🤧

If we’re being real here (which is kind of the whole point of the Daily Reminders), then I’d like to say I have something inspiring to share with you today, here at the beginning of the week… but I don’t.

In the top right corner of my screen it says it’s 06:36, and this will be with you in a matter of minutes.

I'm low-level ill, so I got an early night last night, wiped out, imagining I might wake up having a bit more juice in me, for writing… but I don’t. I spent a good deal of it tossing and turning, coughing and sneezing.
