TODAY, THE SCORE SO FAR: Plus: Indian summer. Man oh Manischevitz, what a beautiful day it was! It was basktastic. I made like a lizard on a rock for much of the afternoon, reading in Dupont Circle.

Mocha frappuccino. I hate myself for loving something called “mocha frappuccino.”

Did a chunk of work and a chunk of fiction.

Yapped with the Rat for an hour or so.

Minus: Total, all-night, catastrophic insomnia, followed by one of those killer midday naps that always leave me feeling much worse than I was initially. If anyone has anti-insomnia suggestions other than pills (won’t) and no caffeine after 5 (already on it), PLEASE email me. This is getting ridiculous.

Still gotta do several more chunks of work and fiction before I knock off for the night.

Didn’t do some volunteer stuff I needed to do, partly because of aforementioned evil midday nap.

This apartment is a disaster area. Again. Still.
