It has been a perfectly pleasant Halloween. Max has had a fantastic time going door to door, and is still having fun handing out candy. The final costume decision was puppy dog. For those out there who were wagering on the outcome and picked ‘puppy dog’, congratulations!
It’s been really nice to see a steady stream of kids to our door. The last 2 years have been kind of pitiful, with only a handful of kids each year. Whatever the reason, the kids have returned and it’s ben fun giving them candy.
On to the daunting challenges segment of our program. Tomorrow NaNoWriMo starts, and I’m going to do this thing. To make it harder, I will be blogging the fruits of my hurried writing on a separate blog (it’s the link on the right hand side over yonder, if you’re so inclined). How will I manage to write and average of 1700 words every day, and edit the mess before unleashing it on the public, and continue doing this blog, and keep an eye on Max during the day, and get to the gym to combat my growing midsection, and do any paying work that comes along?Wish I wasn’t so soft and whiny when it came to sleep deprivation. Oh well, pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.
