bulletin (or something)

(1) PAPER. SUBMITTED. for the fifth time good grief but I tidied up all of the figures and made the minor changes and spent approximately 0 time agonising over the cover letter and now hopefully I really don't have to do anything at all again until the proof stage (and honestly at this point if the proof stage requires more changes I might scream, very quietly, into a pillow).

(2) ... I. found. another packet of tomato seeds. down the backside of the sofa. I think I am convinced that I really don't need more than 2 plants of this variety. Probably. (Peche Vilmorin; they are for stuffing, where we don't actually eat stuffed tomatoes much, and I've actually acquired them at all because I'm so charmed by the way the immature fruit looks -- my seed catalogue posting a photo to FB; a Canadian supplier.)

(3) I did not wind up having therapy, today, but I did do therapy prep, and in the process worked out that Actually Reading Dreamwidth is a thing that will make me feel a lot better in terms of connection and so on and so forth, so instead of therapytoday I spent some time catching up on another few days of reading-page-by-date. Some of the issue is completionism on my part (and I absolutely don't want to imply I expect anyone else to do this ever), leading to familiar seize-up-overwhelm, but another contributing factor is that I'm currently up to, I think, the second of November, and it is quite something to be reading all of those posts as a time-traveller from the future. I am having a lot of feelings, basically.
