NaNoWriMo, Quotes, Glasses, Carers, Cats and Birthday Stuff

NaNoWriMo Word count: 20,457. Couldn't really find my writing mojo yesterday but those 457 words on the end of that number? I did manage to write them. I have to go to the opticians in three hours and I hope to add at least another 1-2K to that number before then.

Ah yes, the opticians. I have two pairs of glasses, an everyday pair and a when I feel like making a statement/having a change pair. On thursday I was making a statement and I've been having to make one every day since... because my everyday pair lost a disagreement with my K. Add to that the facts that I was supposed to get my eyes tested after a year as these were my first ever glasses and its been a year and a half+ and also the fact that specsavers have a 2-4-1 offer on... well it's time for a new pair (or two in this case!)

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin."

I *love* this quote!

At the moment I am finding having care frustrating. It will pass, it always does but for the time being it's a huge irritation and I wish it didn't get like this! They are being inspected soon and I am very interested to read the new report. Lets just say that the inspectors sent a card round to all the clients saying to contact them if we wanted a say and well, I did.

I finally managed to book tickets for me and mum to go to see Cats for my birthday. We've both seen it (seperately) in London some time ago - I went with Maryse and Albert when I was probably 11 maybe 12 and I don't know who mum went with. But it's playing in Oxford for most of december. Mum said I could have this for my birthday treat... quite why I had to be the one to book the tickets and pay for them for my birthday treat I don't know but she says she'll pay me back. And I gave her a list of three books that I want for my birthday or christmas.

And yes, before someone asks because people always do... i do get presents for both!
