Confinement Day #17, #18, #19, #20

The past three days went like a blur. If I did not remember wrongly, it was actually fine weather on #17 and #18, but I chose to spend all four days in my room. I feel somehow there is no time to spare. I am counting down and there is just too much to read and write, before it is presentable for critique. So then I was at Chapter 4 and it came very quickly, well, a lot more than the rest at least, flowed nicely with Chapter 3 and 1. Chapter 2 stood out like a sore thumb, yet it was somehow essential. It was an important 'past' that was neglected or misrepresentation. Finding someone to examine that would be different. PJC emailed to ask if I knew anyone. CCH replied, thank goodness. Maybe he hadn't seen the email yet, maybe just maybe he wasn't aware of my stupidity yet, I don't know if I should be thankful or not. In which case, it was a good lesson learned. It made me found the site - which says it all. I appeal with my charm but yet my personality is an "acquired taste". Over-wrought with emotions yet determined to be 'true' oneself at all times. C would attest to that - hers was pretty true too. She called just now; was in a mighty mood over the 'system' here - no names - but we know where. Everything was just way too slow and way too laid-back. Seriously, people need to eat. Being a do-er, she has to do something, she can't just stay home all day. So the comparisons were made - in the US it would never be like this, in .... etc. I think, I told her, I've been quite numbed, having had my share of horror stories. It is rent day tomorrow. Thinking if I should buy a television. The one out there died. And I really need one for my weekly Heroes fix.
