Not feeling well really does take a lot out of you. Working 10 hour days when feeling under the weather does not leave you with a lot of energy in the evenings for completing course work, art projects, paintings, reading, house chores or even cooking wholesome meals.

I have had some health issue of one sort or another since the middle of December, which means that i have been fighting something or another for two months now. A cold, an abscess of some sort, chest infection, antibiotics not agreeing with me but still having to be on them for four weeks, another cold, corrective root canal surgery at the hospital and currently always tired with a cough that i can't get rid of.

I hope that i am on the mend and on my way to a healthier life again, but one of the things that i have noticed and is starting to bother me, is that because i have been feeling so tired and lacking in energy these past few months, the things that i want to be doing are not getting done. Or at least not being done completely.

So, today i have issued myself with a challenge. A challenge that has stemmed from  Life List goal number 8.

Yup, starting from midnight tonight, i am not watching any TV for an entire 7 days. Instead, i am going to be spending my evenings catching up on my assignment, working on an idea that i have had for a new painting for a little while now, i will be doing some reading, starting my document 2011 project, listening to music, doing some exercise and finding balance in my life again.
