For anyone who cares, my NANO's going to be here: http://octopusflask.livejournal.com/
First chapter/blob/mess of words is up.
Um. So I didn't post for a week? Life is crazy. I have a really good metaphor for how crazy life is right now, but it involves lots of hand gestures which I can't put in print. Pretty much, I tend to keep myself at the edge of the time/work line, and I've now pushed myself into the area where there is not enough time. So... NANO is a bad idea this year, I'm not sleeping enough, and that's lovely.
We had our first swim meet of the season. It was fun. The guys kicked butt, the girls made a respectable showing. Got out-touched in my thousand (after 40 lengths of swimming, it's frustrating to be out-touched by 5/100 of a second) for 4th, again out-touched in my 500 (but this time by someone on my team - I creamed the girl who outtouched me in the 1000). Cas says I look tired. Gee, I wonder why? But my 100 free in the 400 free relay was pretty epic. I was actually out in front of everyone and didn't lose ground, which was pretty awesome.
1000: 11:28
500: 5:40 (ewwww. It didn't hurt enough. I knew that, but was hoping that I was just riding the adrenaline wave.)
100 free - relay split: about a 58?
Also, I got to see my Daddy, and he brought cookies that my Mommy made, and they disappeared in about 10 seconds flat, but were soooo good.
