So today (well yesterday) was family home evening and Josh and I needed to study up on all the candidates for the mid-season elections before we voted. That requires a lot of time and work, so we had planned to dedicate all of FHE to researching. Then I planned on taking some time to write for Nanowrimo. I had family in town for the weekend so I couldn't start writing until today (yesterday) which meant I was already behind and couldn't afford to miss a day. The concept of doing all that election studying and then nano writing was so daunting that instead I took a nap that lasted from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. I was pretty appalled at myself for giving in to my irresponsible tendencies, so I got up just as Josh was getting to bed and I went out to the living room to study up on the candidates.
I got through all the candidates and constitutional amendments and judges and wrote down my selections in preparation for voting, then I started in on my novel. Technically by this time it's November 4, so I'm four days behind on nanowrimo, but I knew I wouldn't be able to write 1,667 words for each day of the month so far. Instead I concentrated on writing one day's worth. I got 1703 words written and considered that sufficient. Now I'm ready for bed except it's three a.m. and I don't think I can sleep yet.
This is really going to come back to haunt me in a few hours...
