I have not yet begun to eat dinner.

This is significant because it's not as if I'm withholding a meal by choice. I got home less than 15 minutes ago, and I wanted to record my feelings for the day before I got bogged down with such trivial things as nightly nutrition.

It was a really long day today.

After two days of steady work flow, I figured today would be easy, breezy -- and over early.

Boy, was I wrong.

There's always one story that holds up the works. Today, there were several. It was as if we were doing things twice, just for fun. Except it wasn't -- fun, that is.

But, it's all over now, and I can finally dig in to my dinner.

It's about time.
