Finished my packet today -- revisions + new work + annotations + letter. Feels good, except now I must get going with the next one immediately! Have a little camping trip planned for spring break, which will make me take a break. My eyes have broken out with eczema -- never had it before -- and I'm generally feeling pretty run down, but my brain feels strong and healthy -- my imagination's on the right diet, if nothing else.
Watched the Oscars yesterday and found myself most moved by the writers' awards and by Natalie Portman's very pregnant belly and the feeling of grace and joy she seemed to have about the baby that I recognized so powerfully. Also by the deaths of old British favorites like Susannah York and Lionel Jeffries. The generation before mine dying off. Didn't really care about any of the rest.
Monday -- everyone tired. Early nights all round.
