LAST WEEKs update (  √  ,  ◊K  , or FAIL ):
This week didn't go so well.  It was already a short week and I was sick for most of the week.  I'm still going to call it a win because I'm finally feeling healthy again!  The rest and ignoring of the to-do list paid off... but as a result my to-do list for the coming week is very similar.
