Day two of WFMAD went great I'd say.  I wrote for more than 15 minutes because well, I wasn't finished doing what needed to be done.  I didn't write much over all, only about 390 words total, but ....I wrote.  And I wrote for about 45 mins.  I also went back later and wrote a little more.  I think I need to start looking at writing like exercise.  ( Read more... )

I'm at my sister's still. The power didn't come back on yet. I'm so tired of this. I just want to sleep in my own bed, in my own room, in my own house. And I hate not being able to IM my friends. It's sad. So e-mail me instead okay ( Read more... )

Sunday night around 7:00pm the power in our house shut off. Lights went out, internet connection failed, heater stopped running, TV went dark.
