willow_25Merae and her Mom are both wicked sick (my Mom spoke to them on the phone last night, she says my sister in law sounds like a bullfrog). I'm not feeling too well, but it's pretty similar to how I felt during the hay fever incident so I'd had it all chalked up to that; and then I remembered the voter registering, nose piercing, Soy Crisp sharing, girl from PG County at the gas station meeting fun of last Saturday. So, I may have a real cold this time. Grr. I've disinfected my bosslady's office twice this week, because she will fake-murder me if she gets sick; she already has to take time off next week for medical stuff.
Should I do NaNoWriMo? I'd basically be working on the exact same novel I was working on last year; in a separate document to verify the word count. This book, it's never gonna be done. I think I was 19 when I started it...And to be fair, I lost a draft in the great computer crash of '05, but I remembered all of what was in that draft, and it was pretty easy to rewrite. Everything after that point has been a smidge more difficult, because I realized that as I matured, the focus of the book and the purpose each character served had changed. And I wasn't so much about the revision as I was thinking about the word count, so I had some serious work to do after November was over last year. Most of which I never did, since in December I had a complete meltdown, and in January I moved. The rest, you can probably intuit from the decreasing amount of LJ entries in 2008.
I seem to have developed the complete inability to process all the mail my bosses and I receive in one day. I need to figure out how to fix that. I'm almost wishing EVIL INTERN was back, so I could dump stuff on her.
