10K Day: Live, While It’s Happening! – May 23 or 26

Good thing I wrote 9490 on Wed. This is my slowest day in a long time: only 3020 so far. But it’s taking a lot of creative energy and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

Taking a late lunch break. Leftover spaghetti bolognese.

Irishman, awesome work. I am working from real life stuff and it’s all in my head and all I have to do it type really fast. You can do it I promise it’s not that hard.

I’m now at 8457. I have new Mikey dog spirit. And funny thing my niece just text me from her vacation at her grandparents house. They just found a dog. No collar and super sweet. She text me a pic. They went to all the neighbors and no one knows this dog. She wants to keep it but her dad isn’t going for it. It’s a Blue Healer and so I told her to name it Azure. That should seal the deal. So I’m counting my text. Hanging in and going to try to reach my 10K. I’ll be so upset if I don’t after my 10K course. Can I count these posts? I know Mill, just kidding.

Hi everyone.

Thanks for the compliment. But my little word count is nothing compare to yours. 8457. Just,… wow!

Not to sure what a ‘Mikey dog spirit’ is, but I do know that one should never turn away a stray dog!

I still remember when I was about 8, and I was out with my mother on the promenade (I grew up in Bournemouth in the UK), and she pointed to a sign on a hotel that said: “No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs”, and she asked me “So, are we one better than black people, or one worse than dogs?” I thought about it for a while and then replied, as only a child could, “I think they must dislike us more than dogs, because everyone knows the English love their dogs!”

I have no idea why that triggered that memory, but there it is.

Anyhow. I have persevered, and, even though it is now almost 2 in the morning, I managed it (better late than never, eh?).

My final word count is 5125.

Now, one day, I hope to be all growed up, and manage something really special, like Milli or Marilyn. But for now, I made my target, and so shall sleep happy in that knowledge.

Everyone, it has really been a blast! And more power to your elbow (or maybe in this case to the ‘moving finger [that] writes, and then moves on’)

Thanks again to you all for your kind words, and pleasant encouragements. I really do not think I could have done it without you.

Milli, if you want a really nice travel picture, then somewhere I think I still have this absolutely priceless photo of some road works here in Belgium. The main road is blocked, but those helpful ‘navies’ have put up some diversion signs. One Points to left, and says (in Dutch) ‘This way to the station’. The other points to the right, and also says, ‘This way to the station’. Just to add to the fun. The left one does not lead to the station, but the right one does go there, only it points to a one way street, going the wrong way!

It is not for nothing that Belgium is known as the home of the surrealist!

A bike ride??!! Woman, get down to business. No time for all this frivolity. Baths and bike rides in the park and such, my goodness.

Me thinks she’s telling us to enjoy the ride and don’t get too serious. Which I totally tend to do. You say 10K and I say Hello. Hello, Hello. I don’t know how you say good bye I say Hello!

So was wondering if Brian was a clean up the dishes slave as well? You got a good one.

My Tazzi friends on the horse Forums are waking up and the buzz is on. So guess it’s not blogging but a lot of posts on yahoo groups. Four different groups to be exact. I sure hope that counts ‘cuz I been using them.

Chowing down on some quinoa pasta, broccoli, olive oil and parm cheese. Yummy. Just enough energy to finish the job.
