"We're particles in motion, we can't accept, we've no control..."
Mostly sunny today. Our high was 76F.
Last night, I slept about two hours. I hoke a little before one, thinking about everything that needs to be written, and thinking about MP 2.0 and the attendant responsibility, and thinking about the impending doom of Trump 2025, and thinking about...you get the picture. No chance of going back to sleep.
I got up, ate a bowl of Life cereal, and then went to work on "Mysterious Person of Unknown Origin." By dawn I'd done 1,021 words. And despite feeling like a zombie, the day continued to be producrive, moreso than yesterday. There were emails related to MP 2.0 that I needed to write, responses to questions by other people on the team. I had a good conversation with Jun. My agent called at 2 p.m.; another good conversation. I did some work on the quadrate description for MP 2.0. I did some work on the Bashi sample, which I'll be returning to McWane next week. So, a very productive day. If only they would all be like this.
But a depression that has been building for days now came crashing down on me this afternoon, likely because of the lack of sleep.
