Kind of disappointed in the amount of the Nano I'm not getting done... but considering the amount of other crap I've accomplished this month, what I have got done is maybe a hair short of miraculous. (But then, I did allow myself to get distracted with a few pages of poetry at one point... naughty!)

Work is up-to-my-eyeballs stupid at the moment. Either it's deader than a doornail or it's crazy busy. And even when it's deader than said doornail we get weird confusing people in. Have been fighting a cold since the week of the 9th and I fear that's also catching up with me.

Man, a vacation would be nice. Yes? Yes.

feeling: a little numb and fuzzy, like socks fresh out of the drier

Sadly, I have not been writing as much as I had wanted. With the boss-lady being away I have no time at work to get much, if any scribbling done and by the time I get home, I write a few sentences, eat and then can't handle much more. It's like my brain shuts off after a certain amount of output. However, there have been a few lines that have been entirely un-nanowrimo-related, including these, which are a few wholly unedited lines I scribbled on the back of a cash order after lunch.

This double,
Sitting inside a coffee shop
Laptop, espresso and sloganed tee
Oblivious-

I stand windblown in the doorway,
Coffee scents stabbing into my nose;
Wonder,

What would I have said
If it wasn't this
clone?

Oh, and in other news: I am alive.
