this project might even get started soon

Not having heard from him, I called Rafiq about the writing project. Recorded announcement that the number is no longer in service. So I came home and sent him email. He called about 10 minutes later, explaining that he had lost the cell phone whose number I had had. So I now have an actual landline telephone number for him, a deadline slid one day later, and a promise of the draft table of contents by email within the hour.

In the meantime, I got up early this morning, went to the gym (another somewhat shorter workout), and had lunch with L.

( gym numbers )

UPDATE: So of course the email arrived, and I looked at it and went "I can't cope with this" and decided not to even start on it until tomorrow. I was functioning enough to know that my "I can't handle this" reaction was an indicator of my tiredness, not of my history knowledge or writing skills, though not functional enough to actually work on it.
