I’ll never take them for granted again! I discovered this morning how critical it is to have two thumbs when you button a shirt! Who knew?
This is the bandaged version. The gross version that shows the stitches is here: http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h208/reader1107/?action=view¤t=110508_17271.jpg
I stayed up last night until Obama’s speech. I was VERY happy!! So were nearly all the students at the school, as well as the teachers. The students voted and while I don’t remember the exact count, it was something like 735 to 45. It was that sort of landslide. So we talked about it today, and I took the newspaper pages apart and put them up on the chalkboard so kids could look at them when they finished their work. They had tons of questions about the presidency, and we talked about the inauguration, etc.
I didn’t get any writing done on my NaNoNovel since Saturday or Sunday, but I did decide to combine it with the story from 2006. That year I only got 5340 words done (partially because I spent so much time on-line talking to someone). I also got … stuck. But it goes very well with the prewriting things I did. I loved the potential of that story and this new stuff adds such a nice conflict and contrast.
I miss the 80s. No, not the years. We went from the 90s over the weekend and last week to the 70s. The 80s are my favorite temperature range! I know that those of you staring at snow are ever so sympathetic! It’s been in the 50s in the mornings but tonight it will be in the 30s. I guess summer is over now.
