Real Life

Why November????? WhY?????????

There's Thanksgiving, two birthdays and a Holiday season to prepare for... and we're foolishly putting in a new floor. My girl says she'll put the floor in while I write (hmm we're beginning to sound like Melissa Etheridge's songs). (Everyone, get a lover who supports your writing and can't wait until your next chapter). But still, damnit, How the hell am I going to get this done? Especially with a pesky intermittent internet connection at work.

Okay okay, I'm breathing now... don't mind me, moment of panic there. I feel like I should have more prepared. Tomorrow, we pick up the planks to put the flooring in. Saturday, we're finishing up the painting in the hallway and letting the laminate "acclimate" to our cold cold house. Sunday is, of course, agonize over the Raiders day. And then midnight, the clock starts ticking... sheesh, my hands are getting sweaty just thinking about it.

Tonight? Well, if it follows the pattern of the past two nights, my girl will be playing San Andreas with me watching on and making comments, and I'll be playing the Sims, trying finish up all the objectives there before setting the controller do.....

EEEEEEK!!!! I just remembered! My girl told me Urbz was coming out TOMORROW!!!! Shit shit shit shit shit.... how to fit all this in before midnight Sunday? Oh and we're invited to a Halloween bash.

I need November to start. So I can just focus on the story and real life can take a back seat. Any time travellers out there?
