Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go.*
Sickle's Progress:
Activity: Walked! *\o/*
Food: Fruit was had! \o/
Sociality: Text from Willy, who's back in the country, so yay, but busy, so I can't see her and then I leave the country, so feh.
Emotional Health: Down the toilet, yay. I seem to have two modes these days: brain-dead or crying-mess. Please just feed me to the sharks already.
Physical Health: OMFG what the fuck happened to my face?!?
Academics: See below. Tomorrow will be submitting-manuscript-day, yays.
Job Hunting: Fail, unless I do something now.
Still working on the manuscript for the article.
I just got comments back from a co-author, and it breaks my heart to read them even though I completely agree with them. (Frankly, though, anything could break my heart right now, it's so cracked.) Words like meaningless and rubbish leave me going, "Yes! By gods, yes! That paragraph is shite! There's nothing to say!" and statements like the paper says nothing interesting or novel and at this stage I do not see a publishable story in this paper leave me likewise going, "Yes! I know! Why am I even writing this anyway?" And yet just reading that with my poor heart - that's just so tired of this article, just wants it to be over with, is sitting wondering why it even tried if all it can deliver is such pointless crap - broke it and left it crying in a crumpled heap.
