Nov. 17th, 2005 02:37 amI've walked through some lovely days lately. There was this one especially beautiful one, intensely blue sky and the crepe myrtle leaves starting to fall, all these smooth little leaves in blush and gold. Yesterday was less bright, but about perfect in its own way -- a soft thin cloud-cover for a comfortable light level, and air that was right at the edge between warm and cool, with a breeze that felt good when I'd been walking fast. It stayed that way into the night, too.
I haven't written consistently and stayed on track with NaNoWriMo; I've only gotten into chapter four, and around 10000 words at halfway through the month. But some people have finished already, so I ought to be able to catch up 40000 words in two weeks. I haven't cleaned the apartment thoroughly or written a lot of other things in the course of procrastinating, either.
I have, as I said, walked through some lovely days, and gone semi-diligently to the apartment complex's gym to lift weights. Falling down on the treadmill was not exactly one of my shining moments, but at least I didn't do myself any serious damage. I've discovered that I like prepackaged chow mein noodles and seasoning with shrimp, although I rather suspect the noodles were stale. I've been to the farmer's market, frozen half the corn I bought there for later, and eaten the rest. I've tried rinsing my hair with vinegar and am not sure whether I'll do it again. (Also, apparently I have no red highlights to bring out. Darn.) I've found a pretty and relatively subtle color of nail polish (although I'm not very good at it, probably due to lack of practice) and had a very girly moment with my mother-in-law. I've gotten a twelve-part series into the Neopian Times (starting Friday, probably) with a new cowriter and started a petpage on the elusive rules they don't bother to mention until you get the rejection letter.
I have plans for the rest of the month, but they start with getting busy in the morning, and as it's going on 3AM the best way to go about that would probably be to go to bed.
