(6 days until 1st Journal is COMPLETE!!)

I've got 6 days, and 52 minutes left till I'll be done with my journal. Yes, it's another journal entry that is around 11 pm, but to say that this is worth doing it at this time because I had such a long day, which I spent most of the day outside. Today was such a nice, sunny day. This morning, I felt like getting out of bed, and certainly I sang a bit, which is so unlike me, but I felt like doing that. And my morning hike was nice too, and I'm so grateful for it to be sunny, even after having almost a week of rain. Poppy seemed to be very upbeat today, which I guess it's the sunny day today.

Another event that happened was that I took a trip to the library, which I just went without a specific list of books I wanted, though I did make a mini list of a few books. I got writing craft books, a book about gardening, and I was going to get two books about how to write a short story, but they weren't on the shelf....they've been taken...one Troll grabbed them already and checked them out too, and left the library. Dang it! But I plan to order these books whenever I get a chance to.

Oh! Poppy and I watched Dr. Dolittle (1998 movie) the one with the actor Eddie Murphy in it. He's such a funny actor and the movie was hilarious. I have to admit it...I did cringe a bit of a few scenes, but most of the time, I was trying not to make myself laugh too hard, but failed to do that. The beginning of the film was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh. It was the wrong time to laugh, but I just couldn't stop. Poppy asked me when we were going to see the 2nd movie, and I told her that we'll try to make time to watch it soon.

I know this is such a short, journal entry, but I'm a bit tired from all the walking and spending most of the time outside today. Plus, I've been doing some plotting on my story and it's been a long day of me doing this, and I'm almost done with it, so I can announce my project on the NaNoWriMo website. So, I'm going to go to bed now.
