We have two backward cats, who bring mice into the house so they can play with them. This morning we had TWO running around - I noticed the first one when I was studying for my midterm and saw a rodent running around the middle of the living room floor.
I'm at a bit of an ebb right now with interest in writing. That's bound to change this afternoon when I get upstairs, but I tried working on chapter nine and kinda bounced off of it. Knowing chapter eight (as it exists now) is weak was a factor. I'm going back to Kelsey's POV for this chapter, which I hoped to use to further show what the world is like now, and to give her a bad emotional day.

Lunch was fairly productive. Birdie had to stay home today so I was in the (WAY TOO QUIET) staff lounge. Should have been studying for my mid term, but instead whipped out my bowling pencil and worked on Kelsey's motivations. Wrote about a page and a half, and now I feel better - at least emotionally. Yeah, I don't feel good again. I think I may have developed an egg allergy, which really sucks because I need a flu shot, considering where I work.
The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Good on the progress -- it comes back, even when you lose interest for a bit. The ideas are still there. It's that time of year with the changing light and the imposition of daylight savings screws the internal clock.
But don't forget to study for the midterm! You'll do great. You usually do, eh?
I'm not sure how I'll do. This is a straight book kinda course, and my mind isn't as nimble as it used to be. Of course, I *am* the only person in the room who actually *experienced* 1968, which we saw a film about last week.
It's funny to see the recent past via documentary. It's so unlike memory. Although my memory of '68 is kind of dim. I do remember being awakened to watch the moonwalk in 1969. It seemed like the middle of the night -- it was what? 7pm? Huh, well, there's memory for you: 10.56 pm EDT according to the intarwub.
