I have praise reports! Some of you all have been praying for my friend, Cindi's dad, Bob. I posted a while ago about his cancer and being sick from the chemo treatments. Well, he'd been feeling better lately and went to the doctor for tests and whatnot this past week. The huge tumor in his lung is GONE. Completely gone. YAY.

Also, news another friend's mom, who was having heart surgery this week. I got this email from my friend this morning.

...I have no
template as to how someone have an aorta and valve replacement is supposed to be
doing, but to my sister and I she seems amazing. Less than 48 hours after
the surgery, she is WALKING 80 feet at a time. She is sitting up, eating
meals, using the restroom, and the strongest thing she is taking for pain is
codeine...

There had been a complication during the surgery that involved a small piece of the shunt that had been used breaking off inside her. There was concern that if it travelled to her brain, it would cause a stroke, but it appears to have passed out through the intestine.

((((GOD!)))

Anyone been on the Nano site this morning? I'm sorry for not reading the people's exerpts that I know were put up yesterday. The site was just ridiculously slow every time I went to get on.

I had a whole flashback appear yesterday that wasn't in my outline and was completely unplanned. Love stuff like that.

Well, I'm pleased and quite surprised to announce that my Nanowrimo outline is done. In fact, it was done several days ago. The first half was a real pain, but the second flew by in a few hours. I'd planned on having to take at least three more days on it than I actually did. It seemed like the first half was more problematic because I needed to establish the conflict and figure out what was going to be done to resolve it. The second half, basically, was the resolution, so it was more straightforward. I confess. I did actually write a plot point that said "They go to the museum and fight Sofia and win." I'm sure I'll bemoan the fact that I didn't write more later, but I find it impossible to stage out fight scenes ahead of time. I hate fight scenes in general. lol.

With the outline being finshed and me having spent the last 4 or so nights with serious insomnia again, I am offering fair warning to you, my dear flist. There is a massive (and I do mean massive) icon dump coming. You guys know how big my usual icon posts are? Well, this is bigger. Much, much bigger.
