Yay! I broke the elusive, yet inevitable, 20K word barrier tonight. Only a few thousand more words, and I’m half way there and on the downward hill to the end.

It’s been quite a stressful day today – among other things, putting in an offer on a town house. It’s a scary and stupid game, playing with larger sums of money that I’ll ever have to deal with again. So between numerous phone calls and emails during the day, I got home from work, and after a quick dinner, drove over to check out the area. It almost 9pm by the time we got home from there, and soon another hour was gone, and it was 10pm. I really wanted to make sure I did my quota for today, so now, a few hours later, I’ve broken the 20K mark and can allow myself to go to bed.
