- Reading The Night of the Gun without any kind of guilt at all about how I should be writing
- Forgiving Lorrie Moore for not helping in my second-person-hour-of-need when I really needed her
- Sleeping through the night without dreaming about how I need to wake up and write my story
- Hanging out with Jaycie & Max and actually paying attention to them
- . . .
- Eating a delicious mint-chocolate brownie sundae while watching Sex in the City reruns
- Catching up on what the Internet has been up to since I’ve been preoccupied
- Listening to something other than Liz Phair’s “Whipsmart” and Matthew Sweet’s “100% Fun”
- Getting over this stupid, stupid cold that is making me miserable
