It's my last work day of 2022! Such a delight of a realization. Looking forward to having a chunk of time off from work.

Time off agenda:
- Carmel-by-the-Sea for the holiday weekend
- Clean the house
- Binge watch something , probably Velvet?
- Go to the movies and maybe see Avatar
- Read a whole book
- Check out the new bar that opened up in town

I'll probably spend too much time online as well. Ha!

And here's my 2020 NaNoWriMo Muse, , just because

Monday musings!

- I'm glad to be here because no one from work is here
- A friend is reading my story and lo, she likes it! She's also picturing me as the main female character. I don't mind as long as she's also picturing as the main male character
- Now I need to write the story where plays the main fella
- was just okay. The best part was Sarah Shahi rightfully giving the "heroes" the business. Oh, and that mid-credit scene was too short...

Friday musings...

- I've hit 50k words on ! The story isn't finished yet though so I must keep writing.
- I'm bummed that we're already coming up to the weekend because it means back to work on Monday.
- I signed up for another instance and I'm toying with moving from this one to that one OR keeping this one and also using that one. I love having options!

And how much do I adore my Muse, ?

I've got the on. No score yet!

And the screenshot I've posted is my Muse, . Of course...

It's Saturday night and my has been suffering because I haven't written much since Thursday. Alas!

Got to ride in the new truck today. Still haven't driven it but since it's not mine, I don't mind.

Love this sweater weather! I can wear my hoodies and not worry about getting too hot in the middle of the day. Whew!

Now back to writing! Here's my Muse to get me in the mood...

My week:

Monday - Hubby sends me a pic of a Ford Bronco Sport he thinks looks cool

Tuesday - We watch YT vids of aforementioned vehicle, plus the Toyota Tacoma

Wednesday - We go to the Toyota dealership after work and drive away with a brand new Tacoma!

Hence me not writing many words yesterday for but that's okay because we have a new truck I'll probably hardly ever drive. 😆

And the Muse, in a car.

Even if the other site pulls through the madness, I think I'm going to like it here more because I have a chance to curate a tighter list of follows.

I'm enjoying dusting off some of my old website skills. I was able to "verify" myself as owner of my own domain and my tumblr. Nice to know I can still manage that kind of stuff.

I've jumped instances a few times, this one being my third try. It's been a few days now and I'm liking it!

And because I like posting my Muse, ...

"Muli" - Ace Banzuelo

Today's agenda:
- Work
- Writing - really is my happy place. Ahead of the pace and wonder when/where I will end my story.

The weather is lovely & cool, the way autumn should be.

And here's my Muse, . Would it be fair to describe his eyes as light brown? Or should I go with hazel?
