Remember a month ago when I went on a rant about the smoke detector that I couldn't find? And it kept going "Neep"? I finally found it and exacted my revenge!
It now has new batteries. Blissful silence reigns.

Yes! Woo-hoo! Despite her slow typing Ninja-initiate Potato managed to get over 13, 336 words so far. A small victory but still gonna be pleased.
Now if I could only master the way of the protagonist's pronouns. I keep switching between 'I/me/my" and "we/our" for Chanda/Brock. |
Only 1000ish words short of where I want to be. Must focus my chi and return victorious!
Otay! I go see if there's any sprints going on. |
Time to get back to the way of writing-ninjutsu!

Well the elections are over in the United States. Am I disappointed in the result? No comment.
Do I believe this is the end of the world? Not really, the world is too big to end just because the person I voted for didn't get in office.
I'm gonna move forward. Turn a blind eye to the merchandise and T-shirt shops around here. They will certainly be selling a certain orange man's image on literally everything in Summer 2025. Come 2028, This will all change again.
I've lost too much sleep and time over the results. Not gonna let it sour my brain anymore. |
I was in the zone this morning with writing. Then my friend comes over with this thing floating in a water bottle. He says he vomited it up last night.
This friend knows I have a degree in biology but doesn't seem to understand I am not a doctor. Nor do I have the microscope and supplies to do diagnostic testing at my house to do a laboratory to identify this mystery blob.
I told this friend to go see a doctor as soon as possible but it's still making me anxious because 1) I don't know this friend will go see a doctor 2)I wonder how many people in this country do the same thing to their friends. Or worse—go to social media for a diagnosis.
I cannot stress enough, if you are lucky enough to live in a country with free healthcare. Go see your doctor or specialist about anything that concerns you. If you qualify for Health Insurance in the United States go to your doctor regularly! They have seen a lotta weird and gross body problems. No one should just hide a medical problem from a professional.
Dying from a condition that could've been fully preventable is stupider than anything. Educate yourself about your health risks. Keep on top of your medical issues. Don't procrastinate till you have a worse problem than you had earlier!
If the "GRUMP" wins this election and repeals the ACA, there will be so many more people delaying their care because "they can't afford it!" They will go to ERs and our healthcare system will be overburdened. But still do your best to keep yourself healthy!

| This morning I saw a smooth capped woodpecker picking bugs from beneath our shingles. I was so entranced I had to stand there for five minutes just watching it. |
| I just broke 5,000 words. We're still barely past the inciting incident. I think pacing is going okay. |
So far so good with NaNo. I almost hit my goal exactly.
The meeting I had today went well! So good news all around.
|
Having the jitters. NaNo starts in two hours for my time zone. Do I stay awake and write or go to sleep?
Wait, the simple answer is no, I got an important meeting tomorrow. Hopefully I can churn out 1600 or so words before the end of Friday. Yay! |
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
The last one! At nearly six in the evening WDC time. If you blush easy, don't read this. |
Sometimes there are things in teaching that aren't done for a reason. Miss Norton is a fine exemplar of a scary old school teacher who doesn't align with modern morals.
You've been warned. Read if you dare. |
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
Only today and tomorrow's left! I'm kinda proud of myself. |

- yeah...I know we got carpenter bees in the area. So I hope it's not one of those either.
Is that the same as a red-bellied? Or red-crowned?
- it isn't but the smooth capped might actually go by a different name. All I know is he had no crest and a red head and was pecking at our roof at about 9:30 this morning.
