Day Twelve was very slow. It was nearly non existent, actually. Gideon was home sick, so my prime working time was otherwise spent with him... which is fine. I'm way ahead and I'm not hurting from a missed . . .

Day 11 started off hard. I was overtired (only had around 2 hours of sleep all night) and that didn't help at all. Through the day that progressed to headaches, dizzy spells and feeling like blacking . . .

Well, it happened. Gideon got his new hamster on his birthday. This time he had all sorts of colors to choose from... and he chose... Dusty - who looks a lot like Shadow, but she's a bit different - enough . . .

Did anyone see this? A listing of the ten most troubled states economically ... and the five runners up.

Day ten finally brought me to the part I had both been looking forward to and the part I had been dreading. Consequently, these are the same parts, but very different emotions toward them. On one hand . . .

Day seven and eight lost me a little of the ground that I had gained on Friday, but not much.
Friday I was out until 8:30pm local time, so not much writing got done. In total I did 454 words on Friday . . .
