"You're lucky this place has rules." (109)
Cold last night and not exactly warm today. Our overnight low was 28˚F and our high was 46˚F.
I spent almost the entire day on MP2, mostly hammering together a full draft of the phylogenetics section. But I got it done, and now, after almost two years of research, after 5+ months of writing I almost have a draft that is suitable for review. And all twelve figures but one done. I'm going in to McWane tomorrow, where I'll mostly spend the day in the silence of the collection doing one more edit. I'm still hoping we might get this beast submitted before Thanksgiving. But wow, I think the last time I felt this sense of accomplishment as I neared the completion of a project was with The Drowning Girl: A Memoir early in 2011 or maybe with Beneath an Oil-Dark Sea in early 2015. Yeah, it's been a while.
Somehow, I slept almost eight full hours last night. It has been months since I've managed that.
The afternoon's film was Drew Pearce's vastly underrated Hotel Artemis (2018).
I point you to the Big Cartel shop. Thank you.
