08:43 This makes me far more gleeful than it probably should. :) RT @shueytexas: 22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktdpirLVdi1qzocj9o1_500.png #

08:44 I have finally given up and admitted that I'm sick enough that I should stay home. :P On the couch today. #

06:45 My latest batch of fudge is so yummy you'll want to eat it with a spoon. Actually, you'll probably have to. It's a little too soft. #

06:59 Trying to get out the door to work, but Lewis is insisting on giving me a thorough face-snuggling first. #

08:31 Right. Cell phone is in the car. (I hope.) Too lazy to go look. Did I mention the four hours of sleep I got last night? *zzzz* #

08:37 On a quest for braaaaaaaai--I mean, coffee. *shiftyeyes* #

14:32 Tentative call for help: If I move from Jackson to Ypsi around 12/12 or 12/19, can I get some willing bodies to help? Will pay in pizza. #

08:47 Roaring headache, still coughing and sniffling. Not enough sleep last night. This oughta be fun. :P #

13:10 Whoops. Cough syrup wore off. #

21:19 Darn it. I wanted to make more peanut butter fudge tonight, but I think I'm running out of steam... :P #

08:44 All five of Anya's babies were adopted this weekend! Abby and Andy went home together, as did Amber and Archie. Arnold went home alone. #

10:19 Surviving on hot chocolate to keep from croaking at my co-workers all day. I'm barking more than the dogs. :P #

15:42 I just had an honest-to-god purring, snuggling, head-butting-me-in-the-chest Neville. The feral one. He was so happy he DROOLED on me. #

22:22 Made homemade pizza from fresh bread dough for the first time tonight. May never order pizza ever again. SO FREAKING GOOD. #

18:31 So I was all excited about being able to download Sims 2 (can't find my first disk) for cheap. Until I saw how long it's going to take... #

18:31 Maybe I'll be able to play it sometime this weekend. :P #

18:22 With family for past three days, eating junk food. Pls send vegetables. #

23:19 I made peanut butter fudge for the second time ever, and the first time successfully. :) #

11:15 Took my fat beagle for a walk this morning. We both enjoyed ourselves, and she's been snuggling me adoringly ever since we got home. :) #

11:22 About to find out if The Sims 3 will run on my machine. If you don't hear from me for the next three days, you'll know that it did. :) #

17:40 Alas. The Sims 3 is not for me. Or rather, not for my computer. Too bad; what little I played was very cool. :( #techfail #

19:37 Oh peanut butter fudge, you are my kryptonite. #

Derailed currently due to life circumstances and family crisis. I have a family member going into hospice care this weekend. I'm going to try and keep doing some writing, but high pressure writing is most definitely Not On right about now.

Folks: I am posting this everywhere. Ann Arbor/Ypsi people, if you haven't already, check out the new revamped Temptations restaurant on Washtenaw. The food is as fabulous and fabulously priced as it ever was, but the service and atmosphere have improved immensely. It's like a whole new restaurant, only with the same great Indian food. Go go go go! I want them to stay open for a loooong time. If you order the chicken tandoori, bring a friend. Seriously.

22:40 No words today, but lots of thought. And I think my current approach isn't working. Need story. Story keeps me writing as well as reading. #

22:34 Crap! I left my Blackberry at my therapist's office. Fortunately, my email address was on it, and security just emailed me. #

22:45 Day two #nanowrimo: woefully inadequate 283. Total up to 1,965. I'd feel worse about it, but this is more than I've written in years. #

08:41 I don't have my cell phone today and I feel like I'm missing an arm. Here's hoping I get it back later today. :( #

12:29 Dear self: if you need to run an experiment to determine how many times you can spill coffee, could you wait until I'm not wearing white? #

22:12 Day one #nanowrimo: 1,682. Fairly painless, if occasionally verging on incoherent. #

10:04 About to dive in and officially start NaNoWriMo. I am unreasonably nervous about this. Writing's like falling off a bike, right? :) #

11:24 Wow. Sitting here with my back to the window is really showing me just how filthy my monitor is. 509 words! #

19:39 Today has been made of awesome. Close to my NaNo word count for the day, and then we spent the afternoon at IKEA. :) #

So I'm sitting here with my Word doc and my spreadsheet open, and I am scared witless. How lame is that? I don't have THAT much riding on this for goodness' sake. Of course, I'm thinking some of the nervousness is also the result of prednisone + wellbutrin. Agitation. That helps, yes. And also, I made espresso this morning, because I had no coffee filters. I might be a little keyed up. It occurs to me that nervous energy might make me type faster, so I think I'm going to go try to start telling a story of some sort.

WHEE!
