Today i did some errands and then headed to my favorite cafe to do some work. I felt good because normally i'd go to a cafe and just not do any work and then end up feeling really guilty. Also because i used to have hefty anxiety issues and i'd just sit there at the cafe feeling like everyone was judging me. But now, i think i've outgrown that sort of stuff although it does tend to rear its ugly head every now and then. The first thing i worked on was a draft for my CV that i'm sending into a magazine. It's really weird how much work goes into things once you start doing the draft. Like, you can think something is really no big deal until you start fleshing out all the components that go into it. Before you know, there's TOO much stuff and you're going to have to edit. Very difficult task, editing.
The second thing was a draft of a book review that i'm writing on Murakami's 1Q84. I've been into him for ages and that 1Q84 took up a lot of my time. I had to get through the whole thing even though in some parts i was really bored and tempted to stop. I can't ever stop halfway through the book though. I always feel so cheap doing that. After two strong lattes, i was getting some serious shakes. I left shortly after i knew that one more coffee would send me into cray mode.
