I don’t care if it’s just barely over the limit - it’s over. Now I must sleep. Taaa Da!
Last 50 yard dash
Nanowrimo word count: 48,447
Last night all was going well till almost exactly 9pm when I hit the pavement. IT’s like three days of quad Americano’s cleared my system at exactly the same instant and my eyelids dropped shut while I was sitting at the table in Borders. Desperately I packed up and coached myself – NOT TO SPEED HOME. So I hit the stretch of road that’s 45mph and rubbed my eyes to look a the speedometer – 28mph. Holy Crap! Can you get pulled over for going UNDER the speed limit. I cranked up Tori Amos and turned the heater off to help wake up. At home I crawled into bed and slept like a log way past the time I usually wake up – so evidently I needed sleep. This morning I’m ready to finish my word count and submit it – the deadline is midnight and I’m ready to just be finished.
One more Americano won’t kill me – maybe. And tomorrow I’ll drink cranberry juice all day to compensate!
Here’s to the last 50 yard dash. Cheers to all!
