More points than I get. After I got home from car pool I sat down and haven't moved off the couch. 9:30 now. I think I should shower now and get to work. I'll think about it a bit more. They will have coffee at the office. That would be nice.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Showing up may be all I do today. I'm going to try to be invisible so I can work on my paper that is due tomorrow.
Since 5am I've been defining the concepts that made the cut. I'm almost done with that step. I suspect a few more will make the cut as I'm writing the other parts (ones I find that I don't have anything to say about), but as of right now there are 31 of them. I cut! I really did! I also added.
I suck at doing things like this half-assed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha! Maybe we have a definition problem. Your mission, which you totally have to accept so don't even ask, is to write about 20 or so concepts.
That's not half-assed. It's the assignment.
Writing about 31? That'd be half-assed.

I'm quote girl this morning, but I have those perfectionist tendencies and I try to use Voltaire's "The best is the enemy of the good." as a mantra.

I suspect that once I get writing the bulk of the paper, I'll cut easily. I'm sure I don't have easily accessible (meaning, in my brain already) examples for all 31. It's just not possible. I hope.
So, ita, I accept the mission. By the time this thing is written, there will be 20 (or so) concepts.

31 is only good when it comes to flavors.

And you don't get to wriggle on "or so"! We're totally watching you.

I think I'm a little goofy this morning. I just wrote this definition for the word "Revise."
Verb: “to ‘re-see’ and ‘re-compose’ (as opposed to decompose) in order to add meaning.”

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Radical acceptance has helped me be a bit more like Joe. I usually have a little panic, then remember that I can radically accept it and deal with the consequences as they come. It's helped a lot.
I'm still unclear on the concept of radical acceptance, but it really interests me. Is it (basically) just deciding that no matter how much stress a given situation is causing you, you tell yourself (in kinder terms) "Suck it up and DEAL!"?
ION, I either forgot to put on my watch this morning, or it fell off somewhere. I feel naked without a watch.
