steaming along

Most of my lines memorized. At 7K words for WriMo; looking like I'll drop the side essays and just focus on the main novel, which is shaping up better than planned. Moving along on the house; the new rat (found found while I was gone) is good enough to steal bait from the traps, but it's pretty clear he'd living under the fridge, so if I can get two more beaters I should be able to drive him out. Shower curtain and shower cleaned, it was henna not mold. Cooked cornbread muffins in the shape of sea animals last night, not enough definition, but the cornbread cake ala Karen's leftovers--swiss cheese (large hole), green peppers, broccoli--is delicions.
