The lunar eclipse last night was awesome! My eyes hurt, though, so I probably shouldn't be on the computer at all. Mom and I's (I'm not sure if that's something I can use) cheeks look red and they're very warm. She suggested frostbite - it was minus fourteen with a bit of wind - but I think if that were the case, it would hurt, and other places would be affected. Ah well. We took about a million pictures.

So finally I got some work done on my story last night, when it was very late, which was very fortuitous (or 'lucky') for me since I have been trying to get work done above a fortnight now, and some of it had not been done for months, so it was really good I got some done. I hope I can get most of the rest done today, too, or maybe I just work best at night, when I usually want to sleep, because I just seem to get more ideas then. I had to finish a character in the story who actually seldom appears in the story so far, even though he's important. So I had to think up his childhood, what his age was, and a few other things but I still have more work. I just seem to get distracted by the kitchen needing to be cleaned or I go listen to music with the design to get work done, but really I go do it and my notebook is soon next to me, abandoned completely.

Or I decide to post in my blog. I'm going to go do that work now, or try. I haven't worked on my paintings for some time now, as well . . .

P.S. I just grabbed my notebook, which was on the table next to me, and accidentally hit myself in the face with it. I seem to be getting clumsy lately, or perhaps I'm merely distracted.

Yesterday, we did some plumbing. One of the kitchen sinks leaked, so we decided to fix it which took a while, but now I can use both. It'll take time to get used to it, since I had a system going only using one sink, but that took a lot longer. I believe my mom will post pictures somewhere or other.

I haven't done anything with my story for a very looong time. I did work on it, but the story isn't being written. I'd like very much to write but I don't know exactly what to do next, so it could be a while until I figure that out, which is a shame . . .

And I must work on that third chapter - I need to make a few modifications to the story since when I copied it, I changed it and that was a bad idea. I'll get to it sometime, but not today. Dad's using the other computer that has my story on it, and then Sarah will be on it all day even though she swears I can use it whenever I wish - all I have to do is ask - but she always looks busy. Skipping to a cpmletely different subject, a muscle in my back was sore all yesterday afternoon, and it's a little worse today - it can be felt when I breathe in - but it'll go away. I think maybe it was because I was sewing yesterday. I slipped on the icy driveway a few days ago, too, but I was fine.
I just asked dad what we'd be doing today. You know what he replied? 'We're going to take over the world.' I love those days. I think I should bake something today; I'll figure out what later. Today is a balmy -14c outside. I would really hope that it would warm up soon, but I know it'll still be snowing in April, usually around the beginning of it, no matter what a groundhog says (I didn't hear what it did do, anyway).
