Mookie doesn’t eat candy so I have a whole bag to myself. And what’s up with the people who gave out 1 individually-wrapped lifesaver?

I started the novel! I wrote 250 words this morning while Mr. Dump was taking his shower. So that means I started before 6am. What is up with THAT? Am I still on daylight savings time?
I honestly didn’t have a direction for it. No plot, because we weren’t supposed to work on it until today. So I wrote the page (longhand, it was 256 words on the pad I was using) and then, while I showered and got dressed, I thought about going from first person to third, then finally decided first is better, and I now have a basic idea on the plot. Enough to get the character going, but not enough that I’ll have to figure out how to get from A to B to C. I’ll get from A to B and then SHE can decide if she wants to go to C.
Day three of the <anthrax, cold and I found out something important last night. See, I have a small spray bottle of decongestant, you know, like Afrin, that I only use in dire emergencies, because, well, grandma was hooked on the stuff and I don’t need that monkey on my back.
Anyway, I took some last night. And it did just the WORST job of keeping my nose functional. After inspecting the bottle this morning, I realize that when something expires in 1999, you should just toss it out. *sigh*
I get to start writing my NaNoWriMo! novel tomorrow! I have NO idea how I’ll make this happen. And I also realized my company Christmas party is November 30th, meaning I can’t even stay up until midnight cranking out words on the last day! Well, I could, but they might not invite me back next year.
I have to assume hits to the main Dump page are going to be down significantly after today. The number one reason my hits were so high in October is that Google attached me to the search phrase “Spongebob Squarepants Costume” just because I had talked about it in two different issues. Uh oh. Now it’s written again. More hits next year.
I’m going to miss all the traffic. I don’t know that I’ll have anything that popular for Thanksgiving. Maybe I should write the words “Funny Thanksgiving Poem” and see if that makes it out to the search engines.
