Silence

I worked hard on "Silence" yesterday, which is what I'm now calling "Movement & Repose". For the last couple weeks, I've been dedicating every moment of my free time to the story. I did chat with some Philippine chick for about 10 minutes. She gave me her phone number. Why do all these Asian girls always do this?

So I completed the story, converted it into a text file, & emailed it. This morning -- I woke up before 5:00, in spite of the 3 temazepam -- I sent it to Ted, along with an elaborate discussion of what I've changed & why. I hope he doesn't object, but it's my name on the story, too, & I wouldn't realistically want his ending on the thing.

I plan to do a crit this morning, as Car-girl & I do TA this afternoon. I want to take the food stamp card out to Wally World & stock up on groceries. We still have more than 50 buckadingdongs.

Trish will do her taxes this morning. Wondering how much she's going to get has been driving her crazy to an early grave. I'll be so glad when that's over with. I have to get her up early, to do the dread grease trap, so until tomorrow it's just some other time.
