5K-a-Day Challenge Kerri's Day #7 Results


Going Halfsies (Half Crazy? At least!)

Ever have one of those days that just keeps getting derailed? That was my day. I hope you all had a much better day.

Here's how I did...

Day #7

11:50 a.m.
As you can see by the time, I'm super late reporting in. Spent the morning in a sleep deprived stupor fueled by raging PMS and further exacerbated by a trip to the U.S. Postal Service where the cost of mailing five packages was in the range of my house payment. Back home to deal with some publisher matters and just realized the entire morning is gone and I've written----ZERO words thus far today. Will try to sprint throughout the afternoon but I must pack to head out of town and 5K seems an impossibility. Oy!

2:52 p.m. Update
Got to 650 words after dishes, diapers, and assorted paperwork. Not gonna make it all the way today but too tired to beat myself up over it. Will strive for half way today. Who wants to go halfsies with me? 2500 here I come.

4:21 p.m. Update
Dragged myself up to 1521 for my latest total and the end of the work day is drawing nigh. That's a word that's not used that often anymore—nigh. Very Shakesperian? Anyway, I've been distracted by putting together my RWA paperwork to run for National office. I don't know if I really have a shot at it. I guess it will depend on who all is running for the position. But I'd like to do my part to give back to the organization. We'll see how it goes.

Must do a little laundry and then I'll be back. P.S. Just completed my 200th page of my manuscript. Woot!

6:19 p.m. Update
Checking in at 2262

7:22 p.m. Update
Late getting to the half way point but at least I got that far today which is a plum miracle. Closing out at 2507.


See you tomorrow.
