Day #3 of the No Social Media Month experiment.

Today’s muse: Bold

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

Or in my case, lack of SLEEP is the mind killer, oy. Too much story in my head. Too much worry about hitting the daily word count. The husband went back to work after a five-day weekend, leaving me to write and make sure the grandboy had plenty to keep him busy. But I had just charged up the old Kindle Fire for him (while the Surface upgraded to Windows 8.1, ugh) when the hubs called that he was on his way home, no one in the office, nothing for him to do. My joy. Let me sing it to you.

I ended up 750 words short on Wednesday due to said lack of sleep. And said summer cold/allergies and being too wrung out and worn out to function. The husband swam with the grandboy, then they did two hours of Khan Academy (because learning is FUN), then we grabbed dinner out after another swim for the young one. He went to bed at 9:00 with my Kindle Fire and I got in another push of words before turning in myself. Part of me wanted to push harder, but the cough said no. It was time for sleep. The book’s at 54305 so we’re cooking right along.

The most exciting news of the day was the Galaxy Note 4, woot! Coming in October! Just in time for replacing my dying phone! On the social media front, I replied or favorited a couple of tweet mentions, and checked the family feed on Facebook a few times, though more times than I should have. I blame feeling lousy and the words being hosed up in my stuffy nose. And on the not shopping online for all of September front, I haven’t added more books to my Kindle wish list, but I did make one purchase, though it’s a holiday gift so doesn’t count!
