NaNoWriMo, The Prep part 4

So much to do still, and little time left. Along with a continuing job hunt, I've still got a lot of prep work to do for NaNoWriMo. I'm not sure how much I'll get done today, though. For some reason, I keep feeling like I'm nodding off, even after drinking an entire pot of coffee. In fact, I'm writing most of this post with my eyes closed and practically on autopilot, so I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't up to my usual standards of linguistic excellence. Okay, maybe more like linguistic anal retentiveness. I'll get this prep work done, I just need to get myself to focus a little more. Unfortunately, I don't know that I'm much of a state to focus right now. I better not be getting sick because now would be a really bad time.

And for almost two hours, there's been a gas-powered leaf blower going somewhere outside my apartment, making it really hard to concentrate. The guy keeps powering it up and down and walking back and forth making the noise very irregular so that it won't simply slip into the background.
