It was an interesting day. I got to get a ton of writing done today at my in-laws house. The boys were busy, my mother in-law was making tons of calls and running errands, and it was just me and I got to settle in and just chunk out 4195 words. And chunked out a great portion of the Christmas shopping, as well as finding the ugly sweaters for the office holiday party.

Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

Got the tree set up today. Still needs ornaments, but that is tomorrow's task. Got inspired and finished up my Secret Santa gift, so that's all squared away. Now, just to try to get Cardio Blas finished up before Secret Santa gifts are posted. Not so much on the writing front, but I still came and I wrote. Now, just to keep it up through December. M wants me to be brave and try to put out a story into the world. Tbh, it's a little scary to me because then people are going to judge my writing, but on the other hand, it would be really cool too. Haven't made up my mind on this yet.

Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

Okay, I pulled Zen back in again. I decided that since one of my Habitica Challenges this month was daily meditation, it was the perfect time for it. My meditation focus is relaxing meditations, sleep meditations, and walking meditations. I like walking meditations because (a) the act of moving and meditating is such an interesting experience and (b) it makes me walk and walk slow. Apparently, I have decided that while doing laundry is the time to do squats. Don't know why, but there is something about it that works for me, so I let myself lean into it and get a few days of Squats done even though my Punches isn't caught up to it anymore. Though, my legs are now experiencing this tiredness across the top of my thighs. Overall, working out tomorrow might be amusing.

Happy holidays Bees!!

Cheers for continuing your writing into December! (That can be a tough one after NaNo.)

 

[Syrius]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon Thank you! It was a little tough, but since I am committed to seeing this one through to the end, it just doesn't feel extra difficult. If anything, I am still using NaNo crawls to help me find the motivation to continue.

Today I felt crummy and sore all over and I had a headache this evening. Also, the evening did get away from me a little, but that is neither here nor there at this point. At least I got my walk/meditation in. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Words were tough this evening, but I persevered. Inner editor tried to come and play today. Took me a little to shake him and get a move on.

Happy holidays Bees!!

Super tired tonight and was running late again this evening. I have a dislike for going to the store after work, it just throws off the whole mojo of the evening.

Happy holidays Bees!!
