the counting

The counting of the words, the counting of the words, high ho the derry-o, the counting of the words! Ok, that totally didn’t rhyme, but whatever. New words written: 798. Old words thrown out: 283. Sarah says I can count them in my YTD amount anyway, since they’re entirely new and rewritten and not merely revised, in which case I can add back in the 400ish or so words I wrote Thursday and threw out again.

I’m gonna watch the Oscars. :) I did get a 40-or-so minute walk in, and did crunches and leg lifts and pushups. Sarah and Angie’s phone call saved me from doing my last 3 pushups. :) Woo! Ted might get to come home soon! Yaaaay! ytd wordcount: 110,700
