Good News: I went to the Neurologist today to talk
about my episodes of
rage. After fairly brief but very serious
consultation, he gladly gave me a clean bill of neurological health. I don't
have a brain tumor or anything! Yay!
Bad News: This means that the only thing wrong with
me is ME. I am a screw
loose of being wired tightly enough (or some such analogy). The entire weight
of my crazy ass behavior is on my shoulders. I can't blame nerve damage or
hormones and DNA is sort of a cop out. More meds and lots of hours of therapy
are in my future.
Good News: The current medication that the
psychiatrist prescribed to lessen my rages seems to be working.
Bad News: It also seems to me making me a bumbling
idiot, wherein I am no longer able to formulate coherent sentences and feel
like I am walking around in a half drunk haze (but not in a fun way.)
Good News: After my lady visitor was over two and a
half weeks late, she finally came last night. I really am not preggers!
Bad News: Because my lady visitor was two and a half weeks late, I
feel like a four hundred pound man is sitting on my lower back and one of those
skinny Twilight vampires with over-gelled
hair is sucking me dry. Am I being dramatic? Good, that's what I was going for.
Good News: I have succeeded in writing on this blog
more than once this month.
Bad News: I’m still not interesting. I am still
wildly unprepared for National Novel Writing Month. This morning Husband and I
discussed my word quota for each day and he suggested a “planning” to account
for days like Thanksgiving and such when my in-laws (whom I’ve not yet met – a story
for another day) and I will likely not want to write. I told him that he was
silly, it doesn’t work that way, but actually on reflection the idea doesn’t
suck. As long as he also helps me plan what the hell we’re going to eat for a
whole month. This thing starts next Tuesday. Did I mention I am not ready?
Good News: This man was reunited with his long lost gorilla
friend.
Bad News: It totally made me cry.
But that’s not really news to anyone, is it?

I think planning for days that you're most likely to miss (plus maybe a few more just because you know life happens) is a really good idea! I am doing Nablopomo (again) this year (not NEARLY THE SAME THING as writing a novel), but for the first time, I feel like I should probably plan a bit more. And plan on developing nearly a month worth of post outlines over the weekend.
I cannot tell you how excited I am for a WHOLE MONTH of Juliet posts! *squee*

Diedre - I REALLY need to do my outline this weekend. Maybe today while I should be working? :O Just kidding I would NEVER do that.
Cake! - Oh you dear! I'm afraid you've confused one National Writing Month with another. I am going to be working on National NOVEL writing month which - I fear - isn't going to leave me too much extra time for blogging. But I promise to you (yay! my biggest fan!) that I'm really trying on blogging more. Really. Honestly. :D
Excellent good newses[?], and a heartwarming Gorilla video. I re-shared it on my Facebook wall.
Looking forward to more posts from you J! :)
cheers,
