Technically, I'm still a day behind. Sunday is normally my "big writing day," though, even when I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. By which I mean that, budget permitting, I walk down the street to Boudreaux's for brunch and then across the street to Smelly Cat and spend the day there drinking coffee or chai lattes or whatever. A chai latte is much better for focusing--probably all in my head, I know--but the coffee is cheaper. (And, at Smelly Cat, better than the chai lattes, which taste alright but come from a powder. But good luck finding a "real" chai latte in Charlotte, as far as I know.) Typically, but not always, I'll end up doing dinner down there, too, usually at the Solstice Tavern, which apparently doesn't have a website. Solstice isn't terribly special--just a neighborhood sports bar--but they have pretty good bar food and some cute waitresses.

Tomorrow I'll be doing the hangout thing for sure just because it's a three-day weekend for me. The budget shall permit it, and no other way around it! Take that, finances! Whether I'll be productive or not remains to be seen.
