You have good days and bad days. In advance, it’s hard to know which is going to be which. While the likelihood of a bad day can be mitigated – by eating well, by taking the right medicine – even that isn’t a guarantee. These help to set the ceiling higher, but the floor is still the floor. Some mornings you’re faced with a bad roll of the dice, and have to accept that not much is going to get achieved today. Which is a problem, when you rely on work to pay for that food and medicine. Try to push on, though, and failure can push you deeper into a spiral, draining the energy you have left and ensuring tomorrow will be harder still.
