Hi. I just woke up.

Well, properly, I got up at 7 and sat in the passenger seat so Adam, who does not yet have his driver's license, just his learner's permit, could drive Elayna back to school.

And then I ate cinnamon toast and then I went back to sleep. And just woke up.

My body needed that.

Questionable Parenting

I have signed my daughter up for NaNoWriMo.

Yep.

They have a Young Writers Program this year, for novelists under thirteen. She can set her own goal - no suicidal 50K for a ten-year-old.

Mommy and baby, writing together all through November. Me and my girl.

Morpheus: "It is sometimes a mistake to climb. It is always a mistake never even to make the attempt... If you do not climb you will not fall. This is true. But is it that bad to fall, that hard to fall? Sometimes you wake, and sometimes, yes, you die. But there is a third alternative."

Todd, upon waking: "Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall...you fly."

--Neil Gaiman, Sandman
