Saturday Morning, Trying to Catch Up

I have managed some other posts for the next few days on specific topics; this is my report of the past few days.

2/19:

I spent over 12 hours on a research project for MW. I managed to produce an acceptable draft around 1:30 AM on 2/20.

I talked briefly with CC. I think this was when she began to annoy me. 

There was one submission done: Havik: The Las Positas College Journal of Arts & Literature: “Pieces About A Small Indiana Factory Town, 1976 -1984”.

2/20:

What did I do as soon as I was up? I made edits to the work done on Thursday. Obsession!

 I did the group session, but I want to write a specific post on that. A much-needed haircut and lunch at The Dumpling House before. Afterward, I shopped at Asian Market.

Another call to CC about going to see a movie, texts from her, and another phone call in the afternoon left me annoyed.  I decided I was not only not taking her to a movie but that I needed to just stop bothering. She likes her self-made drama too much, which I think is fueled by her depression. I have also come to realize how much she is like my sister—she prefers being told to learning and dogma to thought. Tiem to just stop trying. I have other things to do.

I managed to get through my email. The highpoint of that was finding out another story, “Ahab in the Moonlight”, had been accepted at the Academy of the Heart and Mind. 

I also got my laundry done!

The appeal from hell is back on track!

I had reasons enough to take a break and celebrate. 

Then I went to see the last showing of “Crime 101,” which I think is a worthy successor to “Heat.” 

2/21 

Morning readings: Blood, Fire and Flamenco: Almodóvar on Almodóvar By Frédéric Strauss (ed.) and Nobody Ever Felt Sorry for Her: The Best of Dorothy Parker (The Literary Review).
