Ten minutes to blog!

and there's too much to say.

I've gotten 2 phone messages and a letter from my mom since the last documented conversation. She hasn't changed her stance--the dog and I may come home for Thanksgiving, but Jessica may not. Jessica's theory is that she feels a great deal of discomfort with making this stand, but feels trapped by her fear of hell into doing it. Good point.

I've realized that my favorite thing to do is to sip my coffee in the morning and blog (hence the quick post today) and I think it will carry over into my NaNoWriMo project. Of course, that will carry over into evenings, too, as I don't generally write over a thousand words here. I'm still excited.

I've fallen behind on keeping up with Quicken. It's on my list for tomorrow, my day off, along with laundry, moving the treadmill, and other general household stuff. I'm working on being excited about that.

I have several blog posts I want to make--Vortex Music Selections, appreciation rant about writing and the like. Stay tuned.

I'm trying to remember to think of things I appreciate in the mornings. Mostly I appreciate my bed, so there's still some work to be done there. :)
