Clogged

That's about how I feel. Like I need a good dose of writing Drano and I'll be able to Na-No. :) I'm doing it again--so close to success and I feel it slipping away.

It all started with dh's unexpected days off last week and I lost my rhythm. Then we had some excitement turn up with a scholarship application, which led to another couple down days. Had to package a deer. Had to clean the house for company. Normal ASL meeting schedule went from Sunday to Saturday--threw me off completely. I was supposed to go to a class reunion after the meeting, but the car was dead, so after the jump I drove it home and indulged in a major pity-party before starting at 6:30 Sunday morning on that day. Monday we discussed and I was so dead tired after the adrenalin rush that I could barely peel myself out of a chair to go to another rearranged meeting--one that's usually on Tuesday evening. Tuesday was spent doing errands I didn't want to do in 40 mph wind gusts out of the North today. Trying to clear away a couple days to write, but it's just not flowing. I re-started the last scene at least three times and finally as I was going to sleep last night, it dawned on me that the wrong people were in it. So I woke up this morning, looked at my lovely clean living room, decided I'd have a cup of coffee and read and in walks dh who walked off his job--understandably so--

So here I am looking at my two days of catch-up writing shrinking into demands for lunch and what-are-you-doing-now-why-aren't-you-busy-make-me-nachos-please stuff. And all I can do is say--"oh, well" and go to bed and sleep, because my throat hurts, my head aches, my body is saying, "Not TODAY!"

We'll see if whining is Na-No Draino. LOL!

here I whine, and I'll go settle in my chair and get my laptop up becasue it's warm and maybe that scene will start flowing and i'll lose myself in another world and then everything will be better with this one.
