Well, I spent half the night up being sick, but still managed to get words in (despite a nap and a visit to Urgent Care and still not feeling well). Didn't really focus on anything, but finished a friend's birthday gift (which I started last year and ended up being 12 chapters), finished my grant proposal for college, did a version of the rare pair challenge, and also put a few hundred words on my current anthology story.

All told 1633 words for the day which brings me up to 9546 for the month.
