Day two.  It’s 7h17am.   I am up to 3000 words.  I feel good.

Canada Day BBQ at the Basement Office house was a rousing success.   Good filling food, great friends and lots of good talk and as a bonus, two little ones running around, it was a great day.

Once everyone left, we cleaned up, put the baby down and I was ready to collapse.  It took everything I had to get another 1000 words down, but I’m proud to say I did it.  I might not have made it if I was starting from zero as my original plan was.

Today is no less busy.  We’re heading to my parents’ for lunch and the plan is to take my daughter to see Ostriches and Alpacas north of here.  She’s a little young, but she should enjoy it all the same.

I’m sure I’ll be dead when we get back.

This is why I’m very glad to have another 1000 words down this morning. Woo!

It’s 6h40AM.  Yes, I know it’s early.

We have a Canada Day BBQ scheduled for 11.   I spent the better part of yesterday doing house work.  We’re expecting about 15-20 people.  The burgers are ready.  The propane grill is fueled.  The weather looks like it will hold.  We’re good to go.

It’s also the very first day of my insane challenge, the July session of Camp NaNoWriMo.

I have 1031 words down.

I’m very happy with this start.

This means I’ll have 1000 words more to put down tonight after everyone is gone and I am full of grilled meat.

I’m ok with this.

Happy Canada Day everyone!
