*******************************

I am laughably pathetic.  No, I'm not.  But the phrase came to me as I let out a small chuckle, while thinking about my achievement for today:  25% of what I'd ideally do.  And now, I have an extra 15 minutes before it's time to get ready.  Hurry, then relax.  THAT'S what's laughable.  And only doing 25% - THAT'S what's pathetic.

But no, I'm not laughably pathetic.  I just figured out how to say it IF I were.  I'm not.  I've done what the pilot said I should do:  "at least make your bed."  I did that, and then some.  So that's laudable.  ("pat, pat" -- that's me patting myself on my back).  I deserve to think better of myself than I sometimes do.  I'm an achiever.  Maybe I'll get back to being a "high achiever" (that's a relative description, of course).  For now, I am an achiever.

My writing is about me.  Every writer's writing is always about the writer.  How could it not be?  Ultimately?  It is.

Jabez drank long and deep of the bubbling stream's clear, cooling life-giving water.  It's the best drink there is, he thought, as he wiped his beard with his yellow bandanna.

OH GOOD LORD.  That's merely IMITATIVE writing.  Re-reading it brought up a deep chuckle.

"I did my MATUTINAL routine at seven o'clock."  (no need for "AM" - that would be redundant.)
