Up in the night (you know why) and saw the sky – very strange: the clouds like a dark orange against a dark dark gray, moving very fast, chased by the winds off the north sea. Looks almost like a weird negative. 5 am – well the weather shifting with spring, the days getting (too slowly but still noticeably) longer – no wonder the outside seems in a turmoil these days; a week ago the weather was even more changeable – bursts of hail, the only snow we've had yet, sunny, rainy, you'd get an entire selection in a day.
I keep zigzagging too: days when I am astounded at how much I've done, days when I'm amazingly useless. I was so embarrassed/exasperated at being "too late" for an anthology deadline that I did a remarkable amount of work yesterday – then today – and aimed at tomorrow, like an arrow: one last chance to make this deadline. Ginseng, brain-type supplements – I'm all worked up on one level, lazy on another.
So many things to do.
Wish me luck....
