5737 words. I can’t take a nap, can I? Darn it, I want to take a nap. And I want to go see Monsters Inc with my family this evening. But when would I get another 2000 words written?
I hate deadlines.
The weather this weekend has made it VERY hard to be tied to a computer. But I did a little work first thing, before we went out for breakfast, our little family tradition on Sundays. I did get some boxes cleaned up out of the living room, and did some dusting, so now I can feel good about doing a bit of typing.
I am at 5333, but was supposed to aim for 7600+ by the end of the day today. That sounds like a lot to me right now. Especially when I want to go do something fun outside on this lovely fall day. Mookie and Mr. Dump are mowing the back yard. Well, Mookie is sitting on a chair watching him. THAT’S my boy.
I’m back from my “date.” Mookie hung out with grandma and grandpa at their house for 90 minutes while we went to the Cornerstone Restaurant in Leominster. I hadn’t been there in years, and I can’t remember why it’s not on our list of places to go. Anyway, both of us had EXCELLENT meals, great desserts (even the decaf was fresh!) and I had some heavenly pino grigio, my favorite wine. I know it’s getting trendy now, but I liked it before it was trendy.
Oh, so now I’m writing a bit more before bed while Mr. Dump watches Arizona kick the living crap out of the Yankees. 10 to nothing. In the 3rd inning! Oh, wait. Now it’s 11 to nothing. Maybe they should just call the game like they do in little league.
Okay, I’m at 4379, aiming for 4800 before I head off to bed.
