Work is heating up, with the usual “We need it before the holidays!” nonsense. This makes it challenging to focus on anything outside of work. I’m working on it, though. I went to my dance class tonight, despite the temptation to say “I’m too busy” and stay home. I also went despite the wheezy and the swollen-eyed and the low-energy that comes of the air quality having been even worse than usual the past few weeks. And I cooked dinner, too. So now I’ll write for half an hour and try to do some knitting before bed, and tomorrow I’ll take a close look at my workload and my schedule and figure out exactly what I need to do to get myself situated for the holiday next week and reaching that magic 50,000 words by the end of the month.

How did it get to be November 15 already? I’m a bit behind on NaNoWriMo, though not unsalvageably so. I have been keeping up with NaBloPoMo, so that’s something. I managed to cook one real dinner this week, and pickle some grapes (which I haven’t tried yet, though the brine was certainly tasty). I’ve also made good progress on NovySan’s Doctor Who scarf – I may not have it finished by Christmas, which was my original goal, but I’m now confident I’ll have it done by his birthday (and that was my second goal).

G’night, all.
