I have tried to advocate for a 30 hour day, but so far, no response. I am NaNoing, but compared to last time, I've taken on an exercise program with neighbors which also has some social time, and then my hubby is working evenings, so I am cooking more (gads, I hate cooking)<br /><br />It's making it all a lot harder.
