Thirteen Things about Raehan
1. I thought I had beaten my cold but it is coming back tonight stronger than ever. Whenever I feel a cold coming on, I drink a couple of gallons of water before bed. I usually wash the virus away, though I lose a lot of sleep running to the bathroom to pee. Once or twice a year I get one of these big guys, hell-bent on letting me know I am not in control. Big guy, back off. Please. Not now.
2. Congratulations to all my writing buddies who have successfully completed NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I know Indigo and Catherine finished. I’ll find out who else did and update this with links. Please go and congratulate them.
3. Congratulations also to all those who tried but got pulled away by life forces. Ahem. That would be me. I’m planning to pick the project up again in January with the title RaNoWriYe (rhymes with diarrhea, stands for Raehan Novel Writing Year. It will just be my experiment to learn more about the craft of fiction writing.
4. One more of my favorite bloggers is leaving. Why, Mere, why? What is this? National Raehan Friends Leaving Month? (NaRaFriLeMo, rhymes with Mississippi. If said in French.)
5. My sister ran a marathon last week (her second) and had a bad fall at mile 17. She injured her back/neck area but finished anyway. Now she is experiencing really bad neck pain. I’m worried about her. She has four kids and running keeps her sane.
6. My other sister is going to have a baby in December…unless it comes late. Which is very possible. She is a very loyal lurker here. Hi sis. It’s going to be a boy. He will get lots of attention from his girlie cousins.
7. We think Hannah has allergies. She has a clear runny nose two or three weeks out of every month. We’ve tried omitting dairy. No luck. Now we’re trying nuts. She has an appointment with a traditional allergist in a few weeks. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? She never has a cough or sign of asthma. Just the runny nose.
8. My schedule will free up on Monday when I have to mail in my last two assignments for my class. Then I get ready to have my entire house painted. Yes, it is a crazy time for that upheaval, but I’ll be excited to have it done before Christmas.
9. I have started doing yoga to my prenatel yoga video with the girls. It’s quite a scene. I really need a few more yoga mats to end sibling yoga battles. No, I’m not pregnant. I just find that the prenatal yoga refreshes me more. Go figure.
10. Hannah has been wanting to put herself to bed lately with me watching. She reads her books to herself (talking through the pictures, not reading words, of course). She interrupts me when I’m singing the lullabies with my little “doo-dee-doo” and says “No. I doo-dee-doo.” Then she sings “doo-dee-doo” and smiles.
11. I am thinking of keeping a second blog to keep all the stuff I don’t want to put on this blog. Things like my “75 good habits before next week” posts.
12. Don’t worry. You won’t have to visit. That’s kind of the point. It will be kind of like a garbage bin for this blog.
13. Are you having fun, yet? Oh well.
Bonus: I’m bummed that I can’t get Leanne’s pretty code to wrap around my painting. Boo-hoo.
