Nano Countdown Report - Day 26, and Other Crappy Stuff

Nov 26, 2010 21:35

Today I decided to go ahead and bust out my Christmas user pic. Mander drew that on a post-it last year and I made it a pic then and just love it. It makes me grin.

Today is Day 26 of Nano. My stats are as such:

Nano words: 42,206

Total wordcount: 75,964 - That is just over 6k since my last report, 4k of which was written today. What a brilliant, lovely writing day today was, with 1500 in the morning, and the rest this evening. Enjoyed a leisurely afternoon with Nick. :)

I still need 7,794 words to 'win' at this game called Nano. There is a certain gleeful excitement about achieving this.

I am the last of my group of my local kids to hit 50k. That's okay, they adore me anyway. They say so.

Plot points to write still: 9 (thank the stars, no more sex scenes lol)

Nanostats: thinks now I won't hit 50k until December 1st. This is much better than two days ago.

Estimated final wordcount: I think with 9 points to go, and I've got 75k already... um... I am starting to think that I will indeed be right around 100k by the time I am done.

Nano is going very well indeed.

OTHER STUFF, NOT SO GOOD:

Tonight my MIL asked me to go with her to tell her son that his sister is losing it mentally and is psychotic. Cops were called today when SIL tried to assault a friend of my MIL's as my MIL was trying to move stuff into her condo. Lovely, huh. Cops had a hard time calming Mary(Sil) down. It was really ugly, apparently, and they told MIL there was nothing they could do today. MIL told me she is going to have her daughter evicted from the condo, she says, which will take a court order, as MIL let Mary move into the condo, not realizing she herself would need to leave where she is and live there herself. It is a bad situation that is just going to get worse. I didn't say yes or no, just 'I hope it doesn't come to that' re: going to tell her son who, I believe, is trying to avoid the whole thing and is hiding from them all. Lovelier and lovelier. I do not want to see him. Sorry.

I am sick to death of these people.

MIL has papers from when Mary was court-committed before (oh yeah, 1994) and was told then that if something happened again, to go back to them so I told her to do that before she does anything. I don't know what else to advise.

I just want to be free of these people--and I could be if I would turn my back on my MIL, but that is something I could not and would not do. I wish she had a friend's she could stay at, that she would go visit her cousin for awhile, but she doesn't want to be a bother... WTH.

ARGH!

Effing hell.

HAPPIER THINGS:

PUPPYCAM! A friend's friend's malamute had puppies and they have a puppycam where they can be watched. Puppies are so cute and adorable and these puppies will be show and competitive puppies, probably all already spoken for. They are growing like crazy!


puppies!, i miss nick, never enough time, writing, families suck, nano
