Progress notes for August 10, 2006:

Raising the Storm

New Words: Just over 1000 -- plus some keying in of handwritten text in the middle.
Reason for stopping: It's nice dramatic high point.
Tea: Raspberry juice. (I'd already had a full pot of Darjeeling and two cups of apricot green tea, while at work. It seemed sufficient.)
Music: Warsaw Village Band - People's Spring.
Mean Things: Attempt at strangulation from inside, a character death hardly noted, and a far too snarky teenager.
Can't stop fidgeting: Decided one major event couldn't happen just yet, cut it from the last point of view.
Tyop Du Jour:a slight pale girl with knitted hair
Darling du Jour: She pressed the backs of her knuckles, the only part unbloodied, to her mouth to restrain a sob best left for the battle's aftermath.
The Glamour!: At least this time the backache is due to shoveling gravel onto our back walk, not sitting at the computer too long.
Inevitable asides: It takes me less than 24 hours to completely ruin a manicure. In the case earlier this week, under 12 hours. I should have expected the mess-up of the polish (peeling labels off new dishes), but I managed to tear extra skin off two cuticles, too.
