1/5

Up 7 - Bree’s alarm. By the time I got out of bed, she had left for an ultrasound appointment (walking distance).
Usual breakfast, coffee. Cleaned stove. Played a little piano.
Caught up in Ashbery, read to p. 63.
Worked on revision about 11-1:30. Finished the chapter revision (started about 12/1); cut 4000 words overall, and 1000 from the footnotes. I think it’s quite a bit better.
Accomplished very little from then until 5. Read 30 p. Loop, but needed to nap after getting up too early.
After 5: Sat 15 min. Made myself do “yesterday’s” page in the poetry notebook, had enough juice to do today’s. Read another 20 p. Loop. Halfway - it’s a little underwhelming. Fooled around w/ Monk’s “Bye-Ya.”
Listened to Johnny Dyani, Witchdoctor’s Son (1978) and tried to close some tabs. Read another article on The Dialectic of Enlightenment. Author doesn’t seem to have much critical distance from A+H’s critique of positivism. 
Read a few short interviews w/ poets form Rob McClennan’s site - found out about two Catriona Strang books I don’t have.
Took out trash, short walk. Crossword. Listened to a couple of those Eyelashes tracks, sung along quietly. Lyric ideas aren’t so hot. Lights out midnight.
