Heh, heh. I guess that is the "EXTREMELY Happy Balloon". (eep! o_o) *snickers*
Thanks! *GLOMS*
I think getting a lot of extra progress in early in the month was the only thing that let me finish. By the time the distractions really started to hit, I was already at the point where I had done so much work, so I think it encouraged me to keep on going. Otherwise, it would have been a lot easier to drop the whole thing.
With that said, I was really worried about (and not expecting to) finish this year. I was in a terrible funk when I started this thing -- and had been for several months. Plus, last year I finished before my parents arrived for their visit. I did not expect to get much writing time in after they came, as they are not usually understanding of my need to sit alone and work. It was a bit better this year, for some reason, so that was a relief. =)
