Before I look forward to today, Here's a quick overview of my progress over the last few days:

Day 5
It was a fairly busy day, and aside from a bit of jamming with a friend, I didn't practice.

Day 6
Just as expected, I had a very productive practice day. I had an extended period of unscheduled time and I was able to put it towards some focused practice. Early on I worked on my arpeggios and alternate picking, and later on I worked on a handful of my songs.

Day 7
I was running around so much on Sunday that I didn't have a whole lot of time for practice. I got together with my friend before our show and jammed for awhile, but that's when I felt something coming on. We still played the show, despite the bad weather, and it actually went really well. Performance is the best practice, right?

Day 8
Sure enough I was feeling sick so I didn't practice. I still went in to work, but that wasn't the best idea.

Day 9
My cold was still bothering me so I took another day off. I didn't go in to work, and I didn't practice.

Today
I'm finally feeling well enough to try to get back on schedule, despite having a nasty cough. I don't think it will be anywhere near as productive as an average day, but for now I'm just going to ease my way back in.
