It's 8 o'clock at night, and I'm the only person up in the house right now. The toddler and the newborn are (thankfully) sacked out, in the deep, abandoned sleep that only the very young can accomplish. My husband is asleep on the couch, looking uncomfortable; he had a myelogram today to check out some back problems he's been having and is still under the influence of the pain killer they gave him afterward for the headache.

And I'm bored, because all my friends are doing Nano this month, and I don't really have time for it since I'm nursing and therefore spending 90% of my waking hours on the couch clutching a baby and trying not to fall asleep. I was reading a friend's blog and was seized with the desire to do at least some writing, so here I am, wondering if I can really do this, or if it will just peter out after two or three entries.

What the heck. It doesn't hurt anything to try, does it?
