So I took my first non-emergency day off yesterday from this blog, which is my "day job." Holy mackerel. I went to some libraries and did research! I went to cafes-cafes that didn't have wifi-and wrote! I took a nap in the middle of the day! So here is my mini-revelation. You know how you have writer friends who don't have another job who are all, oh, my book, my book is due in four months, I have to write this boooook and are all torturey and tortured? Please laugh at them all the time.

I was forced to spend 15 minutes outside of the house today, because I do not own a printer or a cigarette dispensary, and it could not have been a worse experience. First I had to go to the copy shop, which is about 9 square feet large and was occupied by a young woman on her cell phone who is 1) on new pills for her "wheat allergy."
