I identify with having to talk myself into being responsible and doing the right thing. That was a very good description of my own mental process there when things go sideways. The first inclination, always, is to find some justification for having my way.
Beyond expections for you for sure (but you 'womaned-up") locked-up in a cabin for five days with a view of the big bony Ghanian dog in his cage in all the heat of both day and night. Your mentioning reading the Nick Adams stories with all those short sentences Hemingway wrote as a therapy. I recall them together with my 17-month older brother David (rest in piece ten years now) when in our first teen years. Thrilling. We also read every Kaufman & Hart play published in those slim hardback. They also were 'brief". And so funny. It's amazingly unthought of what you account might mean to others.
Press-on dear penfriend with daily explosions of windy and dry days you tell about on your keyboard.
