It has been a "duh!" and "dangit!" kind of day, at least partially. Multiple trips back and forth between houses because of keys left behind, going back out to the car because wallet is inside, realizing you're hungry when you're in the car about 2 minutes after leaving the house. You know how it is.
The final frustration was my paper. Word is messing with my mind, I tell you, because I am just 2 lines or so over my page limit and NO MATTER WHAT I DO it's not getting any shorter. I took out 3 full lines of a block quote. I have taken out extraneous adjectives and adverbs (I'm bad about those). I've put on my Hat of Succinctness. Nothing. When I look at the print preview, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
So I give up for now. I will look at it again on Monday, when it is due. I will let it rest. If I can't figure it out then? Oh, well.
