Ack, not much done yesterday

I got less than a thousand words on Cold Witness yesterday--not bad when you consider my previous track record, but bad considering my current target is two thousand a day. James and my parents had to go to some Awards Evening at school, so I was left at home babysitting Amber. God, she's a nightmare. Whenever anyone leaves the house, she starts whining and yapping at whoever happens to be left behind. You'd think she's still a puppy, instead of the six (or is it seven?) year old dog she is. Anyhow, I just couldn't write with her gibbering away. I managed to type up the stuff I did during my lunch break at school--but sod all else.
I suppose I must have jinxed the beautiful weather by writing about it here. The temperature's gone up to above freezing, and the weather man portends rain to come ... lots of rain. Flooding, in fact. Over the weekend. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
