My Face, the Cats...and NaNoWriMo
My face is back to normal! *HUGE sigh of relief!*
Bubba has stopped eying me from the loveseat next to my computer chair and gone back to his favorite
sleeping spot. I slept on and off for the better part of the week, due to the antibiotic and
my body fighting off the infection, but have emerged none the worse for wear. Other than my
legs acting a little wonky, all is well.
Rocky has adopted the space under my tiny computer table as his very own. He practically lives there, like the troll under the bridge. When Bubba notices the spot is temporarily vacant, he'll sit under there - not sleeping, just grinning triumphantly. Rocky will return and give me this stricken look to say "Mom....he did it again!" Then he paws and swats at Bubba until he gets a reaction and (eventually) reclaims his spot. Bubba never really wanted the spot in the first place, just wanted to prove he could take it if he chose to do so.
Rocky is a little disgruntled because I have had to put an end to one of his favorite hobbies. He loved to close himself in the bathroom - and it was funny at first - until he did it four times in one evening and then I had to get up at 2am to let him out of the bathroom again. Now there is a big, heavy bottle of dish soap holding the door open. Mean Mommy, stealing all his fun!
NaNoWriMo starts in just under one hour....and I am so excited! Couldn't do it last year because I was in the shelter, but I did finish in 2007 and am looking forward to doing it again. Fifty thousand words in thirty days - here I come! :)

Goodness - a year since you were in the shelter! I really had lost track of time. What a long adventure it's been!
No, you're not mean at all. Nothing mean about not wanting to be woken up in the middle of the night or, if the worst happens, having to clean the bathroom floor at any time.
Good luck with the writing. We'll expect less here and more there.

Thanks, Lesley - and I will still be here. Might have to cut a bit of my Facebook time but my time here is non-negotiable! :)
Am only on my second cup of coffee and the story just hit 800 words. (And still climbing....!)

Go, Beth, go!
I shall be very quiet so you may concentrate.
(shhh, Beth is writing a prize winning story)

Good for you, Beth! I wondered if you'd do the NaNoWriMo again. Perfect, now that you and the boys are settled!
Best of luck!

The count rises.
Beth types away.
We all are waiting.
To see how many words she creates today.
