You are fabulous! and Monday was already going in some parts of the world! YOU ARE FABULOUS!!!

Thank you, I'm blaming it on my cat. She was being a brat.

WE'VE GOT THIS!

You're not an idiot; you're only human, dear. God knows we're all stressed out.

Speaking of which, REALLY hoping to still get some words today, but his family's definitely done it. They've now wrecked my old childhood home including stealing our well. Which means we WILL be filing charges...

Eh, it was a dumb mistake. Not anything major, but I still felt ridiculous when I realized I'd posted it. LOL

Good luck getting all of that handled. Sounds like a mess for sure. :(

Honey, you and I have both known far, far too much stress in our lives, especially in the last few years, and I have learned from experience that NOTHING kills RAM (short term memory) like stress. I am finding myself some really stupid mistakes lately, but we have to remember and go easy on ourselves. This world isn't going to be nice to us, so we MUST be nice to ourselves and to our own. Take this from someone who was looking for her phone lately when it was literally in her hand. ;)

I wasn't really beating myself up over it, just making a bit of commentary on my lack of focus, ya know? But I definitely get your point.

Slightly over a k (1,000) today!!! And here, when I thought I wouldn't get anything, especially with his family doing their crap again! Thank you for the challenge, Amy; when I saw 450 words, I was determined to get it -- I just didn't think I'd get anywhere near this many! Thank you again! :)

Nice work! And glad that the prompt helped. Hoping things setttle down for you guys soon.

...We're about to start pressing charges since we can't seem to be able to successfully move out of the area....

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Good luck, hoping for the best!

Meant to reply Monday...but, you know...work...NaNo...*cough*
Anyhow, I'm a smidge ahead of my count but at least am getting something in every day despite it all. Waiting for the weekend to boost the number more and make better process.

It's all good, things happen! Glad you're making progress. Hoping the weekend is good to you.
