Week One of Nano

Alas, I was both busy and exhausted during the first week of Nanowrimo. I managed to get 2,202 words written on Thursday (Nov. 3), but the rest of the days last week were a washout.

First off, work is back to being busy. Then, Monday was Hallowe'en and we had to go over to my mom's afterward we went trick-or-treating to see my Floridian grandmother who was vacationing at my mom's house. We also drove over there on Tuesday evening for more visiting. That was a half-hour's drive each way, plus two hours of catching up. (DD was very tired both nights by the time we got home.) On Wednesday, DH & I ended up watching "Mythbusters" on the Discovery Channel after he got home from work. I think I went to bed early. On Thursday, I forced myself to get started writing on my Nano, because the hardest part sometimes is just starting--I also knew that if I didn't at least start, I probably never would. On Friday, DH was off and we took DD to McDonald's for supper. We also rented movies: "Robots" and "Blade: Trinity."

The weekend was also busy. We needed to go shopping on Saturday, which took up most of the day. In the evening, we watched "Matrix: Reloaded" on TBS. Then on Sunday, I had to meet my sister and her kids for family pics at Sears at 1:30. That whole day was basically a waste of time as far as doing anything constructive. I had to do four loads of laundry when I got home. I was so tired that I went to sleep at 9pm.

I hope this week is less exhausting. DD has Daisy Scouts tomorrow evening, but that should be all we have to do this week.
