Swim Meet

Well, the somewhat smaller than hoped swim team is on board (only 5 million total motile – must google whether that’s as bad as I think it is – goal is 10M) after only a little fishing around with the speculum.  Apparently my cervix decided to play hard to get today, naughty minx.
I’ve been testing [...]

What a week.  The weather’s been gorgeous (even though today was cooler, still gorgeous.)  60’s and 70’s.  Sun.  Aaahh.  I’ll warn you all up front that I’m blogging under the influence of greater than one Jack Daniels & Coke, so please take that into account.  
What have I been up to this week?
Cleaning out the garden, [...]

As promised, here’s Gert’s stocking. Isn’t it cute? Yes, I did it all myself. By hand. Sequins, embroidery & all.
Photo deleted.
No other major news.  Lactation proceeds apace.  Supply is roughly double yesterday, although that’s still not much, but I’m pleased with the current progress.  Pumping is monotonous more than anything, and I can’t wait for [...]

First off, thanks for all the great comments on my pissy rantings below. I was in such a mood that I even put my Nano main character in a bad mood. Heh. And then had to figure out a reason for her to be in a bad mood. Hence my new word count in the [...]

First of all, if you’re in the U.S. and haven’t voted, go vote. This blog will be here after the polls close. I voted last Tuesday by absentee ballot, and was ecstatic to vote against our f-ckwit of an attorney general.  What’s next, subpoenaing drug rehab facilities to prosecute the patients for possession?  Seriously.  If [...]

No News is Good News

First of all, the word count of the day is 3723 (total.) I’m still ahead of schedule, which is good. I’ve introduced all of the principals now, and now I get to make them play nicely (or not) together. This is a murder mystery, y’know. The interesting thing I’m finding about writing (remembering that I [...]

That beats today’s benchmark of 1667.  And considering I’ve been up since 5:30, drove 5 hours, worked all afternoon and haven’t had supper yet, I think that’s darned acceptable.    I like my novel so far, although my characters keep getting minds of their own.  It’s interesting, if a little scary.  I mean people, talking to [...]

500 Words!

500 words down, 49500 to go.  In case you were wondering, yes, Nanowrimo started today.  
In other news, I want to slaughter the little hellions who smashed my jack-o-lantern and stole my other whole pumpkin.  Little shitheads.  I hope their hands wither and fall off.
On that happy note, I’m going to finish my dictation, and get [...]

I just got home from our local NaNo launch party, which was fun. The writer personality types were in full swing, I must say, but a lot of the people seemed interesting, in a good way. (As opposed to “Isn’t *that* interesting?!”) I’m now drinking a mug of cinnamon herbal tea, and getting ready to [...]
