The end of NaNoWriMo is so close, and I’m so close to finishing. Yet it seems so far away. A chapter and a half shouldn’t be this hard to finish. Really. It’s ridiculous. My plan is to finish Chapter 19 before I leave for class today. Then tomorrow will be dedicated to writing Chapter 20. I want to be done by midnight tomorrow. Then I’ll have met my personal goal for the whole thing. I just hope I can focus and tie things up the way I’ve been thinking of them in my head. It always seems so much easier in my head. Then I go to write it down and it just seems to become a struggle. Oddly enough, I’ve found that writing things out by hand has helped a lot. I didn’t think it would, but maybe it’s because there are less distractions when I’m tucked away in my bedroom and I don’t think about looking up something on the internet or talking to friends.

I am so ridiculously tired tonight. I think I might be coming down with something. This morning my stomach was killing me. I couldn’t even eat anything. I went to class anyway. We were working on stuff for our final projects and I really couldn’t afford to miss it. I went to Taco Bell for dinner, and I was surprised I was actually able to eat without feeling sick. But now my back is bothering me. I just feel so insanely tired. I’d love to just crawl into bed, but I still have half of a chapter I need to finish tonight. I’m not sure if it’s going to happen or not. Here’s hoping.
I forgot to mention in my post about Thanksgiving that my uncle said that his [soon to be ex] wife took mushrooms and almost died. I don’t know exactly what happened, but she’s really such an idiot. I can’t even begin to explain. She really needs to go to drug rehab and get her life together, but I’m not sure that she ever will. I don’t think she ever progressed past the age of 17. She still acts like a kid. I can’t understand people. I really can’t.

Man, I feel like I could use a vacation after the Thanksgiving. I’m still trying to recover. I’ve been achy and tired since I went shopping with my mom on Black Friday. Not to mention my sleeping patterns have been thrown completely off whack. I have no idea how I’m going to get back to normal now.
Right about now I would love to go on one of those tropical cruises and spend a few days relaxing. It’s cold and dreary outside here, and you can just sense that winter is right around the corner.
As much as I love Christmas, I hate the cold. More specifically, I hate snow. I hate driving in it. I hate walking in it. I just assume we not have any at all. I suppose I’d have to move elsewhere before that wish ever comes true.

I went shopping with my mom this morning. I got up four, and we left as twenty til five. People are crazy, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I got the bulk of my shopping done. I still have to buy for my mom, but I think I’m going to order hers online.
I’m still in recovery from eating so much yesterday, and I just ate another plate full of food today. After we got home from shopping, I went back to bed. I slept from around ten until five. We were talking yesterday about how tired we all were after eating, and my mom said the couch needs foot rests so we can all lie back and take a nap.
I think that maybe investing in some discount home theater seating wouldn’t be a bad idea. Of course, I don’t know that it would give us anymore seating space than we have now, but at least we could kick back and nap after stuffing out faces.

Well, NaNoWriMo is going well. I didn’t write anything last night and I haven’t so far today, but I only have five chapters left to write. Hopefully, as soon as I clear my head a bit and gather my thoughts, I can start working on the next chapter. I might try writing it by hand again since that seemed to help me last time. Five chapters in seven days is a bit of a tall order, but I still think it’s doable, assuming I don’t slack. I’ll probably lose a bit of time on Wednesday and Thursday as usual, so it’s really about 6 days instead.
