52,282--and the death that I've been working up to for the past few chapters.
Despite the fact that this person isn't technically dead--he is and he isn't--I'm still taking a short break before beginning the next chapter to give him a moment of silence.
I always get a bit teary-eyed when I kill someone, even if I know that person isn't really truly dead.
In other news, it rained so hard at work this afternoon (it started right when I was supposed to leave) that I ended up completely soaked. My dress was dripping. I was dripping, all the way home. It did rain here this morning, but alas, we didn't get the storm.
However, there's a decent chance of rain tonight, and a really good chance tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be more in tune to our actual forecast; I'm not in a very trusting mood when it comes to weathermen at the moment after the 90% rain flub-up.
Oh, and I attempted to make rice milk tonight. I'm not holding my breath, because I found it quite hilarious that my directions said to strain it through cheesecloth when it was the consistency of cheese (okay, maybe cream cheese), but I diluted it with more water and crossed my fingers and am hoping for the best. If milk is going to end up costing $4.50 a gallon (or so!) like they're saying, then I need an alternative for my breakfast granola, because I'm not paying that much for something I only use for cooking and/or on cereal. I very rarely drink milk. Back when I lived in Columbus, I couldn't finish a half gallon without it going bad, because I didn't drink enough. So alternatives would be nice, especially alternatives I can make myself. (And I'm not going to buy one of those soymilk makers.)
