Updates!
I beat NaPoWriMo! I had to resort to limericks on a couple of days, but I did write 30 first drafts in 30 days. In the process, I gave up exercise, television, pleasure reading, most of my already-limited social life, a fair bit of sleep, and sometimes lunch. But I did it! I win!
I'm going to stick to prose for a couple of weeks now, just to get the PoWri taste out of my mouth. I also have two newsletter articles due on Thursday that I thought were due on Saturday, so this will give me a chance to get them done. I've gotten lazy-brained and started watching Dollhouse on hulu, but I think I needed the mental holiday. I'm not addicted. Yet.
I've been keeping busy with Baha'i stuff, which is always good. Productive days are happier days, and it keeps me from getting weepy that I'm still in the country. I really do love my community.
What else? I'm hoping to get up to Louhelen for the Insights Young Adult gathering. I've had the chance to talk on the phone with a lot of amazing friends in the past week. I had a fantastic potluck at my house, with 8 grownups and 6 crazy little girls. I've started reading again, and things are pretty good!
Now to get ready for work.
