No, I wasn't flying today, but I arrived home at 10:30 last night
after returning from Cabo San Lucas in Mexico on a delayed flight out of Phoenix.

And early this morning I had to be at the hospital for my third infusion.
I'm so grateful and encouraged because the infusion treatments appear to be working,
and my double vision is slowly continuing to improve.

Yes, I have participated in NaNoWriMO by pretending my memoir was a novel.
It has been a positive experience each time.
I'm not participating this year because I have too many medical appointments
and two trips scheduled during the next five weeks.
This past year has really slammed my writing productivity,
although I'm still plodding along ever so slowly. Hmm!
Just thinking about not doing NaNO makes me want to do it.
I'm also hosting my Sunettes Book Club on November 17th,
and I'm hobbling around on a broken foot.
Can 2022 please end already? LOL! 😂 😂 😂
We're reading James Michener's "The Bridge at Andau"
and I have to prepare some Hungarian food.
If anyone has a classic Hungarian food suggestion, or recipe, or recipe source
they're willing to share, I would truly appreciate it.
This classic nonfiction book about the Hungarian Revolution in 1956
and the Soviet Union crushing it within days is a stunner,
and it certainly puts Russia's invasion of Ukraine today in perspective.
I'm sharing some NaNoWriMo funnies today.
I hope you are finding laughter and fun in your days.
I'll be visiting around as quickly as I can.
I hope you have a great day visiting your IWSG friends.
Happy writing in November!
