Jericho: Failure is the usual option.
I was pretty tired and cranky on my last post. It came out a lot more angry and frustrated sounding than I had intended. I missed a ton of question marks! I thought the Alphabet thing was hilarious, but then again, I stole the idea from another blog and I am probably one of the few people that thinks that blog is hilarious, so, there you go.
Steph made it back from Maine in one piece. Darned happy to have her home. The cats can go bother her now!
My shoulder has been bothering me. It's my mousing shoulder, ya know, the one connected to my right arm. When it bothers me, the last thing I want to do is sit at the computer and aggrivate it.
Our buyer pulled out at the 11th hour. We had a second offer on the house and we're now trying to get that deal up and running again. Looks like it might happen. Keeping the house clean for a month has been a pain in the ass! We have switched to plastic plates, glasses and utensils so we can throw them away and aren't tempted to build up dirty dishes. I want to leave the bed unmade now and then!
My job has decided that since I took the day off on Monday to allow my shoulder to heal, that I need to work several hours of after five work. I stayed late Tuesday night and I'll be here late tonight. Joy.
So, Monday I didn't want to be near the computer. I worked late Tuesday, cleaned up the house so Steph didn't come home to a bachelor pad, showered and picked her up at the airport at 10 PM after tons of fun navigating highway and airport construction. Last night was the 7 PM to 9 PM meeting with our realtor. It's been a busy week.
I'm still going to take a shot at the NaNoWriMo. I need to know I can complete a long form project in a short timeline. It's going to happen right at the time we're trying to move, most likely, but that's life, isn't it? The point of the exercise is to overcome life's bullshit and still have something to show for it.
I started thinking about how hard I am on myself about this site. I contribute a lot more out here than I give myself credit for, and you all might have missed it. If you are a returning reader and you just read the articles and not the comments, you are missing half the show! As we have gone along, the commenting fields have allowed for longer and longer comments - quite often I do what could be full posts in the comments. Max frequently dives in with long comments. Recently some of our readers have begun to add longer and more thoughtful comments. Feel feel to read and add to the comments - it's the reason IWDC is here!

"more thoughtful comments". Yikes. Too much pressure. We must now part ways. I will disable my keyboard and go back to lurking in the corner.
Nah-uh! You are one of my newest victim...er, commentors. You have to stay. I live for comments.
Flatter me with participation, I can handle it!
Aww, shucks. It's so nice to feel wanted (or victimized, not sure which)
Wanted, victimized - as long as you are a willing participant, what's the difference? ;)
Bruising. Duh. (In this case my ego!)
Like all good masochists, you'll wear your bruises like a badge of honor!
I know I do!
For example, I'm still writing out here ...
