Haiku the Second

I bought some cookies.
The were nice, and sweet to eat.
I'll have more later.

A Tuesday night

Well, continuing with the theme of much of the last week (Monday being somewhat of an exception), today was another day when I had trouble motivating myself to get much done. Well, maybe that's being a little hard on myself. I burned a couple CDs, made an appointment to see a new family doctor to replace mine who is retiring, did a fitness assessment, went to school and talked to a couple profs, picked up my yearbook, stopped by to see my 'new' boss John (who wasn't there - damn spur of the moment idea), then went home and watched TV and had a quick nap.

After supper I went to dancing. I hadn't been there the previous two Tuesdays, but it seems like many people weren't there then either. In tribal we prepared for a performance at Zena's wedding next month, then we worked on the new shamadan choreography that Evelyn's teaching. Then a group of us went to Maguire's after to spend our last Tuesday night with Brandi before she moves to Edmonton. It was nice to chat about stuff and remember performances past. I'll sure miss her. She was always fun to hang out with, and could be counted on to want to hang out! Waaaah!

Anyway, should go to bed now. Have to take the car in for a checkup early (for me) tomorrow. Ta!

And so it continues . . .

Yay! I've gotten part of the monkey off my back! I've had a pile of papers developing that I've been meaning to organize for the last 3 years or so . . . and just on health and fitness topics. Today was the day I organized them! They went from being a messy pile in my cupboard to hanging nicely in folders in my hanging file container. Woohoo! Someday I could see organizing them further, but for now it's just awesome to have the counter space back.

This means now that I have only a stack of dance-related papers yet to organize. It's amazing all the paper crap I've organized in the last few months. It will feel so good to have that all under control...

I've also been organizing things on my computer. Last month I went through all my bookmarks and all my files and deleted things that were irrelevent or no longer worked. That was another job that hadn't been done in a couple years. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting up to date with my life. Yay! Happy Day!

A pounding headache,
will it never go away?
Advil is my friend...

Today's progress

Well, I wrote several hundred words after school today. Started another date, so now I have two unfinished dates. Is this novel going to be a string of unrelated, unfinished circumstances? If so, I'd best be sure to never torture anyone with reading it! Ugh!

I slept for about 4 hours this evening. I'm starting to feel sort of drowsy again. I don't want to be up all night, so that's good news. Man, I've got to stop writing here at the end of the day.

word count: 683 date count: 2

And it begins thusly...

Well, November 1st has arrived and so far I have written 271 words of my novel: 50 Last Dates. Today I also studied 5 hours for my clinical kinesiology midterm tomorrow. A few of us got together and studied . . . and it was actually kinda fun! 4 weeks until my last day of school before finals start. I can't wait to have some time to pull my life together again. Must get more than 4 hours of sleep tonight. Must not let the demons get me. Must go now. Good-night!

Posting the First

Well, since I'm already overloaded with things in my life, why not give myself something else to work on too! I decided to start a blog. Seems a handy thing to do the day before NaNoWriMo starts. Let's see how far I get this year! If I make it to 10 000 words, then that will be my best showing yet.
