Chapter 3 Completed!!!!

Finished Chapter 3!!!!!! Go me!!!!!

Literally, the second I finished typing, the electricity went off in the house. I figure this was the Universe's way of getting me to the gym because otherwise, I would have been sorely tempted to sit on my ass and binge Season 4 of Selling Sunset.

Such a personal relationship with the Unverse, I have! 😀

One more chapter in the Grazia arc.

In this chapter, she meets with a drug dealer on a deserted corner at 4 in the morning who's hawking N95 masks (this actually happed to Public Policy Eleanor who had the misfortune still to be a nurse during COVID); gets floated to the floor where she watches lots of people die—including a woman who could be her doppelganger; flips out; joins a strange Shaktipata yoga cult; gets snatched by Neal who takes her to his Catskills cabin and nurses her back to mental health. The chapter has to end full-circle with Grazia & the other sister wives on the front porch of the Catskills cabin the day after Neal's memorial.

Then I start with Part 2, which is told in Daria's voice, which I am imagining as highly poetic with no wisecracks but a lot of linguistic wordplay, since Daria thinks simultaneously in English, Spanish, & French. This is going to be challenging since my French is bad & I don't speak Spanish.

If only I'd won Lotto, I would start Chapter 4 today. But you have to buy a Lotto ticket to win Lotto.

So, instead, I must—ugh—Remunerate. Don't want to work while I'm in Ithaca with the SonZ, so must position myself ahead of the deadline.
