Day the Tenth

Though I didn't officially register with them, I have taken the NaBloPoMo Challenge again this month. I took it in January, and announced it, and you saw how well that went. But I am saying it now because I have just successfully completed the 1/3 mark. So okay, it is a short month - but still, for me, ten straight days of posting is a big deal.

I know I won't win any essay contests; I can't type as fast as I think I can think.(?) Merely managing to stay on topic is a minor miracle, what with how MS has addled my brain. I used to be a fairly decent writer (or so I'm told, I don't believe it), but these days it's hard to find an original thought in me. This is why I turned down a request to write a "Desperate Housewives" skit for my sorority's Spring meeting. I just can't do it. I can, and will, help tweak it when the draft is sent to me, but there is no way I could come up with the bones of a skit to save my life. Happily, the MS hasn't taken my voice, and I am as articulate as ever and I have a nice voice, so I get to be the Narrator. I look forward to that.

The MS has taken away a lot of my mobility, however. Any get-up-and-go I had has gotten-up-and-left. I didn't even sign up for 'free' PT at UPS this semester (or last, or the one before). And I know I need it! And it's just one day a week. Sigh. And now I'm off topic. It happens so quickly.

How can you guys even stand to read this crap I write? If ever I say something meaningful, do tell me. It'd help, I'm sure. And after I go to the library later today, I will go to the drugstore to refill my sertraline (aka Zoloft), as I've been out for awhile and it may make a difference. Maybe. Just a little. Also, once I'm out of the house, it doesn't seem so hard to do more than one thing. So you never know where I'll end up. It had better not snow! They're predicting 0-2". I'll take zero, thank you, otherwise, all plans are off, which would be just wrong.

So now I'm going to watch a Netflix so it can be returned tomorrow, and I can get another this week.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

P.S. I just watched American Splendor, and I give it a 3.8/5. Not riveting, but interesting to the end.

P.P.S. I did go out to the drugstore and to the library this afternoon, just as it started to SNOW. I knew I had to hurry, just in case it started sticking (and piling up) on the streets. If that happened, EEKS. But it didn't. I stayed with the plan because oh.my.God it was coming down. And it was so beautiful. It's been such a long time since I had been out in a big flake snowfall; it was invigorating - my little adventure, even thought what I really wanted was to go to Starbuck's and look at it out a big window (something I lack at home.)
