EDIT 2: ZOMG! I wrote over 4,000 words today! And I got done BEFORE 5!! And ZOMG!, check my word count! I'm totally going to break 50k words this weekend! I was shooting for Monday, but I think I can do it by Sunday! *runs around screaming in excitement*
I'm so insanely proud of myself for having such a productive day right when I needed it most that I must be glowing brighter than the lamp next to me.
And on top of all that, the next chapter is ready to be written! My muse is itching to get it started. She's not happy with the cliffhanger I left off with. The shit has just hit the fan people, and with the start of chapter fourteen, it's going to splatter everywhere. lol
Now, in celebration and because I'm so happy, I'm gonna go buy the makings for my favorite supper. Spaghetti! Heeeee! *dashes off* /EDIT 2

EDIT: Wanted to put this up yesterday, but got distracted right after I got home, then got a damn migraine so it didn't happen. While I'm taking a break from writing before I dive in to the major frenzy that's about to begin (Hoboy, I think this is going to get ugly! ) I thought I'd update my word count and give you guys an update on the state of my eyes. lol Went and ordered more lenses. They'll arrive probably next Friday. Yikes! Going to town on Black Friday!? lol At any rate, they had my right contact to give me one to hold me over as I expected, but, shockingly, they had one for my left eye too! My exact prescription! That was weird. They never have my exact prescription. They have close enough to allow me to see, but the weights are wrong and it shifts on my eye and irritates me. x: So, needless to say, I was happy about that. And did I mention my eye doc's a hottie? lulz I was drooling over him when he handed me the lenses... with James standing right there. *cackles* Oh yeah, I'm a bitch.
Ok, back to work! :b /EDIT

How's that for a catchy title?

Let me 'splain about my recent brain cramp and the resultant headache now. D:
So, my contacts are uber expensive (Duh. lol) and we don't have vision insurance. >.> Yikes! This means I can only afford to order my contacts one box per eye (different prescriptions because of astigmatism in my left eye.) at a time. Which would be a three month supply. So, since I wear each set of contacts 2 weeks before replacing, and it takes about a week for ordered contacts to come in, when I put in my last set I go to the eye doc and order then next box for each eye. Well, sadly, that happened to be around the beginning of this month. >.> I was so wrapped up in NaNo that I forgot I needed to order contacts! (And have been to the mall like a million times since then. lol Sad, I know.) NaNo has so invaded my life this year that I also forgot until last night as I was getting ready for bed that I was supposed to put in fresh contacts yesterday. So, rather than make the same mistake I did Tuesday night, and store my contacts rather than tossing them, I did what I was supposed to... I tossed them. Woke up this morning with a bit of a headache. Not unusual. Just means I can't sit and read like I want to before I put my contacts in. I managed about 3 pages before my head really started pounding. (This is why my eye sight keep getting worse, I know. lol) So, I shove the bookmark in the book, set it aside and head for the bathroom. I pull open the medicine cabinet and look..... at an empty shelf. I panicked for a moment and checked the whole thing, moving band-aids and shit out of my way, as if there was room for the boxes of contacts to be hiding behind something. lol I'm out. I have no contacts to put in. I'm SO fucking screwed right now it hurts. lol I called James (he's on his way home from North Carolina where he dropped his load... shut up sickos, he's a truck driver and he was delivering giant coils of steel. ) and told him what's going on, even though there's not a fucking thing he can do. He tells me to go to the mall and order more and see if they have a pair of my contacts I can get to hold me over. >.> I know damn well they don't. They have the right, but never have my prescription in the left. I ask him "And how do you want me to get to town? Fucking WALK!?" He's like "Well, Andy hasn't gone to school yet has he?" *dies* "You honestly think I can get to town, go by the bank to pull out $100, go to the mall, jump through hoops to order contacts, MAYBE get a pair to tide me over until they come in and then drive back home in 45 MINUTES!?" x.x Moron. lol As if I want to be driving all the way to town without contacts. I could do it if I had to, but man the headache would rival one of my migraines. -.-
So, here I sit, effectively blind. I can see well enough to type if I keep my eyes relaxed, but my first instinct is always to squint. :/ I can read because I'm able to hold the book as close as I need. lol But, that gives me a headache after a while. So now WTF do I do until he gets home around 3? I'm going to..... SHIT! x.x Excuse me, having a heart attack now. lulz I know, random. I was right in the middle of a sentence and Andy goes to leave for school and when he unlocks the deadbolt on the front door, since he didn't lean against the door it squealed like a squashed puppy and scared the fuck out of me. As I was saying, I'm going to grab a very late breakfast, then TRY to do my writing. I'm not holding out much hope. I do have some very old glasses that will do in a pinch (They're about 4 years old. lulz) if I can't stand myself anymore and need to watch TV or some shit. lol Otherwise, I'm going to spend the day going crazy because I'm half blind. -.- I might vacuum.... The house really needs it as I've been neglecting housework to write. I don't need to see to be able to do that. Need to do some laundry... put away what's in the dryer, don't need eyes for that. Well, except when it comes to underwear. Gotta be able to read sizes on the guys' undies because they wear the same brand. -.- Bleh. Gonna go eat now. God my head hurts. :/
