A thousand words a day...

Day in, and day out. It takes awhile to get into a groove like that. Or so I would imagine, being as I've never done it. What I HAVE done for the past two months, though, is *averaged* 1k a day. With all the times I fought with outlines and characters and churned out practically nothing but spit for several days in a row, I'm really excited about that. In fact, if I actually had my numbers here in front of me, I'd figure out what that averaged to over the days I wrote. Today it took about 2500 to bag that k-a-day prize!

I even got done early enough to finish the new pricing guide at the store. I still have inventory to do this week as well, but...I'll get to it.

Today was Jim's last day at his job. He now has two weeks off before he starts his new job. It's gonna be odd. For starters, we'll be fighting over our one and only truck for two weeks! (He had a company truck.) We went out for ribs to celebrate. If we're celebrating, why do I have a stress headache? Bleh. I hope it goes away soon.

Excellent work, Valerie. Sounds like Jim will be giving you a ride to work for the next couple weeks.

Congratulations on the new job for Jim. But I know about the stress part, too. Russ is in Atlanta at meetings for his new job which he started on the first... though his last day at the previous job is not until tomorrow. They owed him some vacation time and still want him to do a few extra things.

It's all crazed. He's going to be working out of the house next door for the next few months, along with at least one other person -- maybe two.

We have an odd life....
