Pre-pico jitters

picowrimo starts in a couple of hours, and I'm far from being ready. A good thing I've already finished "A Matter of Time", which was originally planned as my pico project, because November is usually a horrid time at school, and I even have the questionable honour of holding a so-called open lesson this year, which means the parents can come in and watch the lesson. I still don't have the faintest what I'll do.

Also, I've just ruined my lower back again with a pinched nerve or whatnot, and let me tell you, the pain is quite spectacular if I manage to move in the wrong angle. Nonetheless, we had the frantic, semi-annual flat cleaning today, and despite the hired help we have on such occasions. it was quite the ordeal. Considering that autumn break ends tomorrow, I don't look very optimistically forward to next week... writing-wise or otherwise.
