Done

I hit 50,002 words at 1020 this morning. The story is done, althought there may yet be epilogue or filling in later. LATER. Nanowrimo, two years in a row, and both done early.

Ten Things I am amazingly happy about.

1 Sixteen years ago, D and I found each other.
2 This morning, he went to Google Earth, and found satellite photos for where we were stationed during Gulf War I. He'd looked before, but the resolution was too poor. Today, we found both sites.
3 This is his idea of romantic. Mine too.
4 The story flowed, and let me tell it. Enough for now.
5 We are going to a museum today
6 Then lunch at Wok 'n Roll.
7 Moby is the most wonderful cat ever.
8 Moira is the most wonderful friend ever.
9 We are going to see Moira and C in January, as well as babe Plum.
10 You read this, and encourage me, and share your own tales in return.

I knew you would do it. And, for the bazillionth time: I am so fucking proud of you.

I like your idea of romantic. Happy anniversary, and enjoy your day together.

You are the most wonderful friend ever. I'm extraordinarily grateful to have had you in my life the last several years.

Well done with the writing. I am in awe.
