November!

So, uh... I'm getting married in like a week and a bit. What's that about?

I wanted to post a sort of timeline of events for you people who know. We're getting married at like 10am on November 24, which is about 8pm (or wait--7pm now?) on the 23rd. HOWEVER, we are getting pictures done on December 16. I have no idea when pictures will be ready for us to put up. I *kind of* want to wait to change Facebooky information until then. We'll see how I feel. We will be taking some pictures obviously on the day (unprofessional ones) and also a video. I'll put the video up later that day for people to watch who want to watch. So basically, if a relative lets it slip on Facebook or something, I think I'll put some pictures up. But I'd really rather wait until the professional ones are done. At which point I will:

1) Change my name on FB (though it won't actually be changed in Real Life until I get back to the States. Apparently I have to be there in person? I need to research it more.)

2) Change relationship status.

3) Change status to something funny.

4) Upload professional pictures (we're buying a disc of images, which will contain all of them, and we're able to do that--without watermarks!)

So then, my friends, you can let the secret out. Because it won't be secret anymore. Unfortunately, this might not be until January. Apologies.

Anyway, IT'S NOVEMBER!! And I have spent a good ten days of it not feeling well at all. I had another cold for a week, and then the past few days I've just been feeling sick to my stomach and have barely eaten anything at all. I was hungry today though, which is good, so I think I'm doing much better. Way better than my new housemate who had an allergic reaction to our Thai food yesterday. I felt SO bad for her. Luckily Cal and I are First Aid and CPR certified, though, so you know. We were ready with our invisible epipens.

Sickness was really NOT good for NaNo. I mean, I've actually stayed on target pretty much every day except one, and made that one up. And the words aren't struggling to get on the page, it's me having the willpower to use up my free time to write. If I just sat down and did write or die like three times it wouldn't be so tough. But I'm not, even though I should. And I've just been exhausting myself again with all of this like a lame seven tentacled octopus.

I'm going to try to get ahead this weekend. I didn't end up going to a write-in that I wanted to go to on Saturday because I still felt kind of down in the dumps, but THIS Saturday there's one at South Bank, so I really super duperly want to go. Going to try, anyway. Maybe meet Cal for a swim after he gets off work.

Have to get ahead so that I can have a non-NaNo-wedding-weekend. Cause Cal already had his birthday NaNoed on. (He's in for a rough life, this kid, I'm telling you.)
