Is it a bird? Is it a plane? ? | livingandstudyingwithME

I?ve found a new cure for afternoon naps ? zooming military aircraft. We had our local airshow yesterday. Surprising it is quite difficult to sleep through a fly by of a Vulcan bomber, not to mention the fighter jets and such. I just powered through. I did looked like a pile of wet noodles by the evening. Even my sister had mercy on me and let me off playing family board games with her. We?indulged?in Being Human ? series 2 and Dexter ? series 3 instead. A wonderful evening of tele.

Class of 2002 Reunion

Progress is finally occurring with my school reunion. We got some dates through so we can finally (!) being arranging a date and the specifics. I say ?we? I mean me. I?ve got loads of ideas but whether I can make them happen or not, humm. At least my sister is on board with all of them and has already promised to help sort out some of the paper side. I need lots of stuff printed for display and she is going to help out with ferrying my to a copiers etc.

I?ve?realized?organizing?something like this event is actually quite complicated. I mean I knew it would be but we need helpers and I don?t where we are going to get them for free. I can?t be stewarding the parking, on the sign-in desk, on the yearbook desk, on the drinks table and mc-ing at the same time! I?ve only got three spare family members to ?volunteer? to the job as well. Well, we?ll figure something out. My sister suggested that we should just let everyone figure out there own parking and that they were probably capable of pouring their own drinks! True I?m sure, but I?m bound to spend the event?popping?over to check on everything. I?d really like to be able to spend the event circulating and such not being stressed over the organisation side. This is a fanciful dream on my part but I can hope!

NanoWriMo

I got my 3,000 words written yesterday so I?m on track to make my target word count if I can write 3,000 today. My characters were very co-operative yesterday for a change. I do wonder whether I will have to cut the chapter I wrote yesterday. I spent 3,000 words describing the arrival of my main character, Victoria?s, family members to a dinner. I wanted to show all the different relationships but it is probably too long. Anyway no editing until the novel is finished! I do seem to be building towards or at least foreshadowing an ending now so that is good news. My characters are arranging themselves to all be in the same place at the same time for the first time in the novel. I?m looking forward to seeing what they have to say to each other.

So I?m off to write for a bit, until my sister comes downstairs to interrupt me. Yes, I know I should be doing some Open University work but my brain is a bit crunched today. I can?t seem to get it into gear at the moment. It?surprises?me I can still write but maybe I?ll look back with a clear brain and see that I have to scrap everything I?ve written in this state. Hopefully tomorrow I?ll feel less like my brain is stuck to an ice pole. If I tip my head back it feels like the forehead will rip off, right now it just feels like a brain deep burning sensation.
