nanowimo: sprint to the finish
Nov. 27th, 2021 06:51 am*In reality, the last 5000 words or so often feel more like a grinding slog than a joyous sprint to me, but there's always some fun to be found.
*The weather is really cooperating today by being absolutely uninviting for going outside (cold, windy, cloudy). I am hardly tempted at all to abandon my computer and run off to be a hermit in the forest.
*I'm all-in on the Christmas decorating already -- the tree is up, AND we've already had our first Christmas miracle, which is truly very cool.
[It's a pre-lit tree, and one of the strands of light wasn't working. The internet indicated perhaps the fuse(s) in the plug should be replaced. Once I figured out how to pry open their lil' compartment, they looked fine to me, but what do I know? So I found the extra bits and pieces that came with the tree and replaced both of them, and when I plugged it back in absolutely nothing had changed. Lights still not working. AND YET!!! Later in the day, all the strands were lit! Who knows why! Certainly not me!]
*Today's goals: cleaning, writing, only a little crying.
