My wife told me I need to change NaNoWriMo to NaMaWriMo. National Mark Writing Month, because I am doing my own thing and not following the official rules. Yes, there are official rules along with groups for support all over social media and the internet. I joined one on Facebook, went inside for a few…

This one is going to be another short one, as it took Niko a little longer than normal to fall asleep tonight and I was the lucky one who got to sit in his room waiting. I am tired, and I don’t know. I slept well and Niko didn’t wake up till 6:15 am. My…

Today, I wasn’t planning on going out anywhere as yesterday we had a fun day at La Cantera, an upscale outdoor shopping mall. Niko and I were in our usual Sunday positions on the sofa and Nina was in the office doing some sewing. She has to keep the door closed because we don’t want…

Working From Home I have no clue on why I never thought about working from home until the Covid-19 pandemic happened. Now, I am loving it. No more stress. No more early mornings. No more traffic. No more construction. No more stupid drivers. No more filling up my gas tank every week. The last time…

I apologize for the pathetic NaNoWriMo from yesterday. It was poorly written. I copied something I previously wrote and added a few new sentences. What was I thinking? Well, my lazy excuse is I was tired, and you can blame Daylight Savings Time. Every time we change clocks, it always messes with Niko’s sleeping. I…

A Birthday Party Today, Niko got to celebrate a schoolmate’s birthday party at Urban Air. This was his first time, and ours also as parents!

I have always wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo, also known as NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH for the month of November. So, I am going to do it every day this month. I have seen that it needs to be 50,000 words by the last day of the month. I am not sure I will make…
