3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
In terms of work done, the first two days of this week have been a write-off. I've been thrown by my own hacking cough and missus' virus. However, I found a fantastic aromatherapy treatment for coughs yesterday. Two parts peppermint oil, two parts eucalyptus oil and 1 part frankincense.

It eased my cough instantly and worked all day and evening, and after applying the remedy to my pillow, overnight as well. In the morning I had a rest from it and coughed like mad, but it was "productive". The phlegm was loose and came up easily. I've decided to let myself cough as needed in the first half of the morning them resume the treatment the rest of the day.

I'm off to a slow start again this morning, but I do intend to get stuff done today.
