I lock myself in the room. It was a small, austere white box with a bed. Good enough for a night.
I awoke somewhere similar, but different. The angles were wrong. The clock read 25:73, and I was staring down at the bed.
A dark void stared up at me and screamed.

3 Things.
1. Not dead.
2. I have a job starting at the end of July. 911 Dispatcher.
3. I have tried starting writing again. Or at least editing my own work. 2 paragraphs in so far.

NaNo was never quite the same after you stepped away.
It's sad, but the communities that formed from it continue on.

I was editing. I leaned back to think and brew decided it was time to lay on my lap.
Now what do I do?

Got a silicone mat for my ceramic stove top. I think it would have been more accurate with only the last line.

Today would have been your birthday. If you were here, we'd go to Denny's so you could get your free grandslam.
And then we would probably go back to your place and groom some poodles!
Miss you.

I saw a turkey at a price that shocked the Heck out of me.
Coincidentally, I had turkey for dinner... just not that turkey.

That I understand. Sometimes, it's fun to do something different, but reader expectations also need to be managed.

No paragraphs? As in you wanted it that way or it didn't format with the paragraphs?
Either way, I can work with that!

Well, finally got a job interview.
Didn't get the job. I'm getting a little disheartened and a tad worried.

She may have a cute face, but that sweet kitten is the reason I had to protect my pulled pork by taping the lid on the crockpot.
She will try to eat anything she can get to!
