I managed, somehow, to make the whole “three trains in the morning, three different trains in the evening” commute work for me today without a single hiccup. No side-trips to Brooklyn, no confusion of uptown with downtown, no brushes with death on stairs leading down to the train platform. The whole thing went off without a hitch.
But oh man what a long week this has been. I’m so looking forward to the weekend…except for the fact that I do have to get up early tomorrow, to bring my car in for its annual inspection. And I have to finish this month’s issue of Kaleidotrope, maybe even start printing it out (to be mailed out en masse next weekend), even though the artist whose work I’d hoped to use for the cover hasn’t been responding to my repeated e-mails. And I have a lot of Kaleidotrope slush to read, too. Some of it, I’m sure, even good, but it’s a bit overwhelming right now.
But at least it’s the weekend!
