As usually happens when Newell is home sick, I didn’t get a lot done today, though I did do dishes and go to the grocery store.

I “cleaned” out my DvR of the rest of the Face Off marathon from Tuesday too, and we caught up on Castle and Elementary. So it was mostly clear going into tonight, when there was new Elementary and Suits was starting back up.

Cleaning can mean so many different things. 🙂

I worked on The Conn-Mann Chronicles II today, and was pleased to discover that a lot more of what I abandoned from NaNoWriMo dealt with the subplot that I decided to make the main plot than I had originally thought, so I get to use quite a bit of what I had already written. That will put me further ahead than I realized, though I still have to tweak it a bit here and there.

No sodas today except a ginger ale. In fact, no caffeine at all today. I’m a bit amazed I am still functioning…lol.

My mother makes a recipe that Newell wanted me to get from her, so I got the ingredients to make it today, and tomorrow we see how I do. It’s a really nice brunch-type casserole. I’m sure she won’t mind me sharing. 🙂
