Ahahahhahahahahahaahaaa. It's all you can do, right?

1. My parents weathered the storm okay; they'll be out of power at least through Monday (probably longer) but since surviving Katrina, they are mother-fucking prepared. Nobody I know died or was severely injured although some people in my parents' church had extensive property damage. /gratitude

2. Our roof is leaking. Naturally. Thank the baby Jesus in his golden diapers that we are renting and it is somebody else's problem.

3. I need to take a medication right as I start eating, and I keep forgetting to do so until after I've eaten. Help me figure out how to remember to do this. Josh has suggested setting alarms, but I don't eat lunch at the same time every day. It would work for dinner time because we always eat at roughly the same time. Suggestions?

4. I really want to explore the writing idea I had about interstitial cystitis. If I never write anything, it'll go nowhere. So I want to commit to writing daily. What is a good daily word count minimum to set? I want it to be substantial enough that I take it seriously but not so much that it's intimidating and I don't do it. Anyone who's ever had a daily writing goal wanna weigh in? What did you do? How did it work? Any other suggestions that you'd make for someone who's wanting to start a big project and needs to figure out how to generate consistent forward momentum?

Alas, I cannot take credit for it.

It's from one of Will Ferrell's prayers in Talladega Nights (which is one of the best stupidest movies ever).

Which I confess I have avoided watching. I just don't come from a NASCAR place. But great expression, no matter what!

I hear you on that. NASCAR is the pits. I will never understand a single second of its appeal. But I love that this movie makes fun of that while also making me way fonder than I should be of the two main characters.
