According to my calendar, it is. And that means NaNoWriMo‘s coming, and so is NaBloPoMo, and yes, I’m intending to do both.
To kick it off a few days early (and try to get myself back in the habit with this blogging thing), I’m taking a cue from Sarah Morgan’s post “10 Years Ago Today,” which was brought to my attention by Be the Boy. NovySan went into his IMDB record to find out what he was doing, but since mine doesn’t go back that far, I had to do some math.
2008-10=1998, give or take a few days, and we end up with Halloween 1998. (We’ll call it Halloweek, just to cover our bases.) That was my first year in law school, and the year my first marriage fell apart. Or, at least, it was the year the cracks really started to show. Sometime after Thanksgiving 1998, I was sitting in front of my computer sobbing, looking up California divorce info on a dial-up connection – but I didn’t file the paperwork until 2001. Halloweek 1998, though, I was coming up on my 6th anniversary (yes, we got married on Halloween), and I really can’t remember what we did for it.
I’m also not sure where I thought I’d be in 2008, but this is where I’ve ended up – I’ve just reactivated my legal license (and it’s no easier to find a job now than it was when I passed the Bar in 2001), I’m very happily remarried, and the only thing I know about 2018 is that it’s 10 years away, and that’s plenty of time to get wherever I’m going.
