(to-do) Because I was a slug yesterday...

I'm going to be slightly more ambitious today. I need to cook and shop for the week, as well as make sure we're both clothed. I also need to get cracking on NaNo, and figure out some more of the background on Seasons before I go forward on those edits.

So here's the list. It's 10 am on a Sunday morning (y'all DID remember to turn your clocks back, right?), I have a cup of tea and a bowl of homemade chex mix for breakfast (I just put cereal in mine, so it counts as a breakfast food!), and for the first time in about a week, my headache is down to a dull roar.

To-Do:
- Go to Maria's and help prep the food for next weekend
- Laundry!
- Clean out the sink
- put away the chicken wings
- box up the remainder of the chex mix
- food plan for the week
- grocery shopping
- stop and get a neti pot
- make stuffing
- make blueberry muffins
- make pumpkin cream cheese
- make apple crisp
- 1 chapter on Dreams
- start addressing edits on Seasons

Big list. I'm off to look at grocery fliers and make my shopping list.

Edit One: Off to a great start. AND - I got my passport yesterday! Yes! It took...

ONE WEEK.

One step closer to Mexico!!!!

(nano) Starting Count

Okay, I am starting my NaNo finally. Starting count (because I'm doing unofficial NaNo):

10,672

Here I go.

(nano) Day 2: Yes, we missed Day One.

1,358 / 50,000 (2.7%)

starting count: 10672
ending count: 12030
change: +1358

starting line:
The low, gutteral roar of an industrial lawnmower woke me the next morning.

ending line:
“Bodyguard?” His deep voice was slight skeptical; even so, it sent a chill of a different kind down my spine. I’m a sucker for guys with deep voices. Even if his next words did prick my pride a bit. “Are you that important?”

darling:
A warm breeze whispered across one of my cheeks, and I could almost fancy for a moment that I could feel his touch again. He’d done that so often: cupped my face in his hands and kissed me, so gently it was barely a breath against my lips.
