Finished the Antichrist post.
woke up an hour earlier because babies don’t know the meaning of daylight savings
Ha! I know what you mean man! No matter how late our four-year-old’s been up, no matter how difficult a night she’s had from nightmares, fevers and whatnot, she’s ready to prove she can shine as early as, and brighter than, the sun.
Probably continuing to pretend that I didn’t have a cold and also editing The Chapbook Review (which I hope will be done before day’s end).
Slept for about six extra hours. Just waking up now. Argh.
Saved that bad boy for right now.
ha! that’s the smart thing to do, save the hour. i wonder how redeemable it is.
