Nano Day 10
Day 10: A sad little 1001. (I'm lucky to have gotten past 400.) Overall: 18318
Day 10 Excerpt:
Wiry-haired, lanky and lean, there were easily eight in the pack. Most of them were focused on the legs of the horses, which had been their intended targets. As soon as Rae and Tabari began moving, the wolves focused in on the smaller victims.
Rae went for the fire and grabbed the first rock she could. Ignoring the pain of the heated stone, she brought it down on the head of a wolf who attempted to grab her ankle. It yelped and backed away a little, but not far enough for her to feel safe.
She turned back to the fire and grabbed the cooler end of one of the pieces of wood they’d left to burn overnight. She turned back and waved the warmer end until it flared into flame. The wolf backed away and she got to her feet and glanced behind herself at Tabari.
He was gone.
-----------------------
Had a ROUGH day. Got up early after staying up late, went to the doc. Turns out this was a GOOD thing as I woke up with a puffy red eye that hurt like hell. Anyhow, got a report on bloodwork (I appear to be fine, high cholesterol, shock) and got a script for antibiotics.
So we went to the drugstore and picked up my bc pills and the anti-b's. I also got some "migrane" formula meds, generic, since the ones I had before did a good job. This was a different brand, but I figured, same ingredients.
The pharmagirl says, "These anti-b's are," and I quote here, "notorious for causing diarrea." I'm like, oh, SUPER. That's one of my problems already, let's just add to that, shall we?
I get home, take the anti-b and some of the headache meds. Guess what! They don't work well with each other! I became nauseous and sick and dizzy and gross and ... still am, really. So, sad little word count that I was grateful to get. I'm glad I'm ahead.
I know. It gets harder from here. I'm going to go write some more.
