For a moment today, time stands still but you can tweak one thing while its stopped. What do you do?

I started to give this entry the title A Tweak in Time Saves Nine, but then I realized that messing with the space-time continuum would probably screw things up worse and I wouldn't want that to happen. I especially wouldn't want to be the one to do it because that would increase the guild I feel over silly little things. Either that or it would mess up any chance I have of finishing NaNoWriMo in November.

If I was going to tweak something, it would be when the short sale of my house closed. I thought it was going to close on October 30, but I found out today that it may close on November 25. That is five days before the end of NaNoWriMo and if it closes that day it would (probably) mean I would be moving before the end of November. At least, this year I know one of the things that could cause me difficulties finishing the 50,000 words. Given the situation, as it is, I figure I will have to write 2,087 words a day to complete the goal by November 24.

I have to find a place (that I can afford) to live. I don't expect any help with the rent in the new place. I'm not looking on the negative side of the situation, I've simply given up any hope that the government, or perhaps I should say Congress, gives a damn about any other human being except. I hope I am proven wrong, but I'm not going to bet on it (even if I did gamble) I wouldn't bet on getting help from anyone except family members or friends who are in just about the same financial situation as myself.

I know I am going to survive. I know this will make me stronger spiritually. I just thought of something else I would tweak if time stopped for a moment, it would be my attitude, my thoughts. Lately, I been too focused on the limitations and not the possibilities, so I need to change my focus.
