Well, since NaNo ended on the 30th, I meant to post this yesterday and I'm barely making it today as it is. But yesterday my computer's hard drive started making some very interesting noises. So I spent most of the day first trying to get the machine to start, then making sure that everything was backed up. Such fun. I did have much of it backed up, but it wasn't until that sound started that I realized there were some other things that I really needed to keep.
Today I had to get a few things done, including getting some x-rays. On a good note, as I left the radiology shop, I saw the crescent Moon and Jupiter and Venus. I only got a few moments look because the clouds moved in, but if you get a chance take a look. It is an amazing sight. Of course, on the way home my glasses broke while I was driving and my left lens bounced onto the floor. I had to drive home in the rain with one eye closed. I have glasses that have a nylon cord on the bottom to hold the lenses and it broke so I couldn't just pop the lens back in. Luckily, the less than a year old America's Best Contacts and Glasses near home was open and they fixed it for me for free. Lucky them - I need new glasses so they'll get my business.
On to yesterday's news. I won NaNoWriMo. I now (yesterday) have just over 50k words of gibberish. Pay no attention to any word counts you may see, apparently the NaNo word counter interpreted some of my more esoteric punctuation as extra words. But I do have just over 50k. I said that I expected to have a Draft -5 completed, but now that I am done I would have to say that this version is actually Drat -7.2. Now the task of turning this into something presentable.
Now I have to catch up with some of the things I wanted to get done in November.
Remember to get a look at the astronomical sight, it really is pretty cool.
