Nov. 12th, 2015 05:11 pmAs of today, I've finally recovered from my seasonal-change cold. High five! Breathing feels so good.
Last weekend was taken up with my godson's 1st birthday party - how I miss the days of family lunches for baby b-days! The peer pressure my friends face when it comes to throwing their kids a party is ridiculous. Would that I could rest on my child-free laurels but instead I somehow volunteered to host the godson's party at my house and so ended up with 20 sugared-up kids making a mess all over my back lawn.
Everyone had a blast, though, so worth it. I did spend most of Sunday sleeping... at least until hubby decided that popping all the leftover balloons would be a good idea.
In fact, I've spent most of the week sleeping... as well as reading (finally finished Maplecroft, and got seven books for my birthday so devoured those too) and writing. Yep, I'm 27k into my effort for this year's NaNoWriMo and determined to finish on time, especially after bombing out with 2k to go last year.
Picked up the Passenger album Whispers II for some chill music to help calm my brain because I write more easily when I'm relaxed. I guess that's why some people drink or smoke pot. I can do neither - but then I have other tricks, like the music!
