Sitting here at work. I guess of the 8 people in my section of the Legal Dept., 3 showed up for work yesterday. Most everyone is here today – straggling in at whatever times. There is only 1 person not here today in our section. There are many kids here today though since so many school districts are closed.
I am ready to go home. I am so tired. I really don’t like getting up at 5 a.m. after getting up like 3 times during the night – the last of which I couldn’t get back to sleep for a while. The drive to Northgate this morning was not fun, but also not too bad since we took it so slowly. I-5 and I-90 were just fine until we got close to Issaquah, then it got pretty bad. The roads getting off the freeway weren’t that fun either (though I heard it was much better than yesterday).
Hopefully, the roads are better by the time we leave here @ 3:30 (I don’t think they are letting us leave early today like they let people do yesterday). It is supposed to snow again, but hopefully, not until after the heavy commuting times – as I’m sure many people do not want a recreation of Monday night. Have I mentioned that I’m glad I got to leave work early that day so I missed all that traffic (even though I did manage to get stuck in traffic for 40 minutes trying to go 2 miles from a friend’s house to my house)?
I am so happy that I finished that “novel” yesterday. It was nice to get that finished so I can move onto other things – like filling out my pregnancy journal I got with my amazon gift cert. I know that I am pregnant, but sometimes I cannot believe that it is happening to me. My sister said something yesterday on IM that made me think – I was telling her about my novel and what it is about. Toward the end, I couldn’t be creative so the story I told in the end basically is my story – maybe with some fictional parts mixed in there. However, what she said was something along the lines of “no wonder this feels so surreal to you since it may feel you are talking about your characters”. Maybe she can say what she said if that is not quite right.
Well, that’s all for now. I should get some work done before I go.
” Maybe she can say what she said if that is not quite right.”
Wha? that doesn’t make sense to me? what are you saying?
I was saying that if I misquoted you, you could fix the quote.
Oh okay! yes that was what I was said. You are writing about infertility and your characters find out that they are pregnant after how ever long, as do you. So it may seem like you are telling people about your novel rather than actually about yourself.
