It's finally a live-able temperature both inside and out. If anyone heard of the stupidly destructive storms that came through here the other day, know that everyone associated with Independent-Ter is okay (that I know of; my sisters never check in). My parents just called to let me know they're still without power and phone; our conversation was stunted due to the fact that cell reception up there is shoddy at best. A lot of trees came down around them but the house is fine. It was windy as heck here and both the 2-family and the farm escaped unscathed.
I started back at the learning center yesterday. Four hours to myself to be bored as hell. I had two people all day and was asked by one of the skills teachers to help input classes and modules into one of the learning programs. Every time I sat to do nothing, someone or something demanded my attention. I hope that's not an indication as to how the summer's going to go because I was counting on getting a lot of writing done.
I'm really proud of myself. This is the first writing venture I've undertaken in a very long time (read: before even starting this diary a million years -- coughsixcough -- ago). I started at the end of April and I'm still with it. I write just about every day to every other day, even if it's just a paragraph or two. I'm so happy how I've stuck with this. I don't know what the difference is, the want to see a project through, writing in a notebook, writing by hand, writing in pencil (?!). Whatever is it, I'm about a third of the way through this notebook. I know where I'd like to end up and I'm not anxious to either get to the end or that the build up to where I want it to be right now is taking a long time. I had a feeling that when I finally started writing the story I was meant to see through to the end, maybe even to publishing, I'd have no trouble getting the words on paper. I'll be careful making lofty goals at the moment; no sense in jinxing anything. I'm itchy to get it online but I'm feeling overprotective of this project right now and don't want any other eyes to see it yet. It's not that I don't want it to be absolutely perfect or flawless, but I want to be a little more refined and further along than I am at the moment. I'm just over 50 handwritten pages, so maybe when I get to 100 I'll start transferring it to electronic. I'll keep all posted.
In other news, I've just joined all the other sheep and have started watching webisodes of House and Bones. I swore I wouldn't be one of the Those People, and now I'm getting anxious to get caught up with two of my favorite shows. ::sigh::
Off to be a sheep... BAAAAA!
