Two pages that include Bruce Springsteen

I’ve got two pages filled with 638 words. This is the furthest I’ve ever been on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Of course it’s 638 pages of stream-of-conscious bullshit involving a bowling alley and Bruce Springsteen, but it’s a start. And like Vodo told me last time I was freaking out, it’ll be something to work with.

Of course I have to babysit the two tiniest Tibbles for about 10 hours tomorrow so it’s probably all downhill from now. But I got two pages and that’s pretty fucking amazing.

Mmm… Springsteen. Saw him in concert Saturday. Hope I have half that much energy at 59.
