So I had a chance to see Ian and Megan again today. Megan needed to return some shoes so we did that and then went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place that was really good.

Today was difficult. My body is in rebellion, my poor team leader is out sick still, and the stupid bloody scanner had me in tears from frustration.

I have a problem. I’m working on Little Bee’s blanket. But I cannot for the life of me recall which hook I was using to make it. Normally I write it down. But no, not this time. I don’t want to restart it for a fourth time, but I may have to.

Boy was today a wonky but enjoyable day. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Just couldn’t shut down until after four a.m. I’m hoping I can bunk down here in the next few. I’m tired.
But a good tired.

Well, I didn’t make it to fifty thousand words this month. Just under 15,000 words short. I tried and I’m going to keep writing, and I believe that it what truly matters. I’ve gotten into the habit of writing daily and I really want to keep that momentum going.

I didn’t get the ten thousand words written that I wanted to today. I got lost down a rabbit hole of research. It is highly unlikely I will hit 50,000 words this month. I could cheat, and just say that I did it, but I’m not going to.

I’m sleep deprived. And took my sleeping medication that didn’t work last night. So I’m fighting to stay awake long enough to knock this out.
I’m still behind in NaNoWriMo, but I haven’t given up yet. I’ve got my therapy appointment with Mx. Steph tomorrow at eleven, so I’m going to spend most of my day writing if I can.
I’m goi to go appease the Duolingo owl and go to bed.
Take your meds folks.
