Well again I must apologize for the tiny little itzy bitzy journal I am writing. I have been sick in bed all week since Tuesday. This is the month of the National Novel Writing Month. But I have completed the 50,000 words with a bunch left to over!

Sunday 17- nice day.

I did my stretches.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.

Sherry came by to say hi and drop off some lemon pudding cups.

I called Family and Friends.

I completed 1766 words today for 44311 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month. 5689 words left to do.

Monday 18- cloudy and cooler.

I woke up feeling ill, but I did my stretches.

Took Kelly shopping at Vons and WalMart. We had dinner at Carrols restaurant.

We watched a few episodes of Merlin at her house.

Tuesday 19- very overcast but warm.

I am definitely sick. I slept most of the day.

I am finding it hard to concentrate, but still managed to complete 784 words today for 45095 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month.

Wednesday 20- sunny I think; I didn’t venture outside.

I am completely bedridden I feeling so sick.

I completed 1831 words today for 46926 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month. I have 3074 words to go.

Thursday 21- cloudy with some sprinkles.

I am still sick and slept most of the day.

I completed 1199 words today for 48125 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month. I have 1875 words left!

Friday 22- it rained all last night and all today.

I am still sick in bed.

I completed 756 words today for 48881 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month. I have 1119 words left!

Saturday 23- very cloudy with some rain all day.

I am still sick. I believe, with a few exceptions, that women handle being sick better than men. When I get sick I don’t want to be bothered by anyone, my IQ gets cut in half; just look at how my word count dropped this week, I let all my calls go to the answering machine, and I’m a big baby complaining about how sick I am. Yup, women handle being sick better than men, with a few exceptions of course...

I completed 1410 words today for 50291 words written so far for the National Novel Writing Month. So I have finished! Yay for me!

I missed going to our monthly potluck, but the wonderful folks there sent me a care package; they put it in my mailbox outside my home and yelled my name so loudly it woke me up: Over ten folks showed up: Chris Jonas brought his fabulous macaroni salad, Dorothy Jacobsen made a great macaroni corn and carrot salad, Dyan Carroll whipped up a salmon platter and tasty calico truffle, Mary and Chris Koval cooked up a tuscan chili with cup cakes and pea salad, Evona Frances surprised everyone with two pumpkin pies!

***** Stuff I Wrote this Week******

I like creativity, I like originality, I like the way you sing your song, I like the way you carry on, you fill the void between my heart, with songs of joy and works of art, you are the brightest star in my sky, even brighter than the moon up high, Saturn's rings become your lips, stars on black satin your fingertips, and the Milky way is your hair, for eternity I shall see you there. ~Robert DeLoyd
