So. Today's the halfway point. Am I at 25,000 words? No. Am I close? Closer than I was when I started, but not close enough. Do I have a paper due Monday that I forgot about? Yes. Well, I didn't forget about the paper, but I forgot it was due so soon.

It's like getting sick took away my motivation to write. When I get home from work, I just want to sleep. Yesterday, I was gone from 7:30 a.m. until midnight, and I had about an hour free during that whole time. The rest of the time, I was in class or working, mostly. By the time I got home, I just didn't care enough to try and spout off 4000 words.

So. In an attempt to fill a little more space, here's the Friday Five.

1. Using one adjective, describe your current living space. Cheerful.

2. Using two adjectives, describe your current employer. Adorable and motherly.

3. Using three adjectives, describe your favorite hobby/pasttime. Exhilerating, inspiring, and challenging.

4. Using four adjectives, describe your typical day. Long, full, productive (usually), and tiring.

5. Using five adjectives, describe your ideal life. Fulfilling, love-filled, godly, inspiring, and happy.

Okay. I've got to go get ready for work. No more procrastinating.
