I was feeding the animals this morning when Dad showed up. He asked me if I would be working on the computer today, and I said that I would because I work every day. He wanted me to help him cut firewood. I told him that I first had to wash the dishes and then I'd be working after that.

So I washed the dishes and then started working. A bit later Dad comes in the house and tries to guilt me into helping him. He said that he was cutting firewood so my brother and I have heat, ...

Today was grocery day. Dad came by and asked for a list of things to get. That was uneventful. When he brought the groceries, he stuck around longer than he seemed to want. I wanted to ask him the question that had been bugging me lately. Ask him if he's planning on moving back before Mom comes home. But I couldn't do it. Instead, I played with the kittens.

Just real quick, because I want to save my keystrokes for the 50,000 words I have to write by the end of this month:

I'm writing a novel! It's National Novel Writing Month, and I'm participating. At day 5, I have 10,000 words, and I'm still excited about this story.

We can be writing buddies on NaNo website.

I finally finished Xenosaga Episode I today! Yay for me! I was cleaning off my desk, and at the bottom of a pile of papers I needed to throw away sat the game case. So I popped in the game, and tried it just for the heck of it. I played as conservatively as possible, and I actually won! I thought that the battle was over when Sophie used Dark Omen against the party, and they still hadn't gotten the HP under 10,000 (because the game will only show an HP of 9,999 or less for some stupid reason). ...

Well, as the title says, I'm still here. Those of you who've had me in your death pool can suck it!

All joking aside, things have been crazy lately, hence my not being around as much. Work has me bouncing around all over the lower parts of the state. It's getting pretty meh at this point. There's a new supervisor, who used to be an old inspector, and he's being a hardass about the smallest things. On one hand, it's good that everyone's getting on the same page and the quality of inspection ...
