He is obsessed with the dryer. Every time I am doing laundry, he hops in there, even when he is getting buried under the clothes.

I miss having an in-suite washer and dryer.
All my former roommates would have pets, I would come home one day and there would be cats, dogs, rabbits appearing.
One time I came home, no one else was around, I settled down at my PC, then after about an hour I turned around to get some cheese from the fridge, and there was a duck sitting in my doorway.

Don't worry guys, I always check that he is out before I start the machine. Today's Erebus story is "I want to help make bread, but keeping getting tossed off the counter." Yup, he was very curious. Eventually, he laid down where he could watch me, but I am pretty sure he was pouting. This is where I found him when I was all done.

Yeah, that ride this morning so did not happen. But I am rolling with the punches. Instead, I played "Which Smoke Detector is Beeping". Not a fan of that game, especially at 5:30am. Orion was also very concerned at that time that I was going to be late to work. And now Orion is laying across my left wrist while I am typing this up, telling me that it is way past bedtime. But I was getting extra words buddy!
Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

Ugh! They're like the watched pot that never boils, aren't they? When you're standing underneath one, staring right at it, all of a sudden the batteries in every detector in the house are fine!
Great work on the writing!

That is precisely what happened!! I knew it had to be the one in our room, but then they went completely quiet. But, I looked around and I found one that was flashing red instead of being green. So surely, it had to be that one. So I stood there, staring at it for what felt like half an hour. 5 minutes after I walked away, they finally beeped. Turns out I had two that were out.
Thank you!!
Now, if only I could figure out how to write for more than 1 month a year. 
It is super nice to write and provides a wonderful creative outlet for me.

@Laura Rainbow Dragon D&D is always a schedule disruption, but I hadn't planned on M needing to make a stop at the town to the north of my destination, so it got a little extra out of wack.

Alright, busy day off today. Busy all around. I had a decent writing session today with 2886 words, and if I didn't have to go to work, I'd stay up late to write more. Feeling pretty good. My 2lbs are starting to feel a little light. I was thinking about doing some alternating bicep curls with the 5lb to see how they really feel, but it looks like I am doing push tomorrow and there were bicep curls and alternating bicep curls in there already. Also, doubling up on the PPL to catch up with the day of the month. Decided it was nicer to myself to pair the same type of day together. Let's just say it was an interesting decision.

Today was tough. Went to the next town over for the dentist, because we really like this dentist. I knew that I was getting some work done, but the milling machine went down while they were making the onlay, so I ended up with a crown instead and at the dentist for almost 4.5 hours. It really threw off my mojo for the day. And this evening, my body is just feeling tired and unsettled. Too much time sitting today. And my jaw hurts.

@Mamatigerj @Laura Rainbow Dragon @Sólveig @Anek @MadamMeow Thank you! I tried to keep a positive attitude and it really helped the dentist and his team to relax and just take care of things. But the jaw pain I experienced later that evening was not awesome.

On this day, I woke up with a headache. The crowned tooth ached only a little bit, so I knew it was already on the mend. Took it easy and we started the 3-day detox that the doctor wants us to do to shock our systems. Honestly, the smoothies themselves really aren't that bad, except for the cayenne pepper in the dinner shake. I don't like how the roof of my mouth feels all spicy.

Okey dokey, had a little bit of a hard time with the words today, but I made it. Kinda wish I had some combat to write, that always goes fast. This one is much more talking and the characters figuring things out. Talking is good, but I am realizing that I need to spend more time describing places. Things aren't too bad, but I have a vision of what places look like, but I am not communicating it well. I'll have to work on that. But hey, I'm still chugging along.
Got through most of my programs and challenges today. Had to struggle a bit energy wise, but I think it'll be alright.

Sometimes when I struggle with that I look at what other authors did. It gives me ideas. I always have a few ebooks open from my favorites while I write.
I'm in the habit of describing everything in one gigantic paragraph.
Unless you want it that way, you can write the gigantic one and then cut and paste 2-3 sentences in appropriate places throughout the rest of the writing. (What I mean is, sometimes writing just description first without thinking about the rest helps).

"Energy and persistence conquers all things. -Benjamin Franklin"
@Nevetharine I am always reading. I think I've actually managed to get through 5 books this month, which is weird for me during NaNo. I picked up Robert Jordan for the first time two days ago and that alone felt like a class in how to describe things. I tend towards describing things that I think stand out or are integral to the story. But I have this one scene, the MC's childhood home that is where they are spending a significant amount of time and I haven't even expressed how the house feels, let alone that the whole place smells of pine and lavender because it is situated on the edge of a forest and they grow lavender on the grounds.
Lol, I didn't even know about the lavender until just now.
I think I am going to spend some sprints doing world describing for a little today. I can figure out properly integrating it in when she first arrives back there later.
I can see what you mean about writing it out first. Thank you, I think I now have the right frame of mind that I needed.

Oh wow, food is like the best thing ever. Though, might have small smoothies a little more often, just to help get those fruit numbers a little better.
Results of smoothie detox - I'm down 5lbs. Now, I was also a little backed up the past few days, despite all the fiber and probiotics and stuff. So, going to keep eating good, try to get a proper workout in tomorrow, because I am still ridiculously fatigued today, and get some good sleep (hopefully).
Erebus has been a terror this evening. Hard to focus because he keeps trying to climb lamps and monitors. So, writing took a lot longer and I ended up getting really into a scene instead of writing scenery. Lol, I'm going to do it, I'm going to write it in. But tonight, I was gobbling up whatever words that I could to make par for the day. I'm now at 75% complete and I wrote past what felt like a natural ending a few days ago to get the MCs to pursue the BBEG that put them in the situation in the first place. So that has been weird to wrap my head around, but the more I write this section, the more I feel like my MCs are facing issues that I didn't know they had. Not sure exactly how long this is going to continue for, but I am pretty sure that I am on the right path story wise.
Okay, good night!!
Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

But how could this guy be a terror?! Paying the kitten tax for mentioning my little menace. This was him two weekends ago, trying to "help" do dishes.
Cheers for eating real food again!

Good day, not much to report. The words were hard at first, but got better later on. At least I did some stuff around work that I can count for moving. Tomorrow is field work. Going to bed now, because I am still super tired. Here's hoping that I sleep some good sleeps tonight.

It has been quite the day. Woke up with the intention of a ride and some challenge catching up. Ended up trying to make breakfast and discovering that the range has gone kaput. So, that kinda messed up my morning a bit. But hey, we'll get a new one installed on Tuesday, which is super exciting.
And I made lots of words today, which I have struggled with the past two days (I have made par the past two days, but that was about it). I also finally know what the ending kinda is, still not sure how they are getting there, but I think that they are figuring it out. And I finally gave it a title last night. Not my best naming work, but I am happy with it. Better than continuing to call it "Untitled". I didn't really want to complete NaNo with an untitled book.
