All the day’s correspondence handled (responses, business, weekend planning, proposals): done.

Edits on the anthology essay submission (all three of them, ha!): done.

Contract for permission to consider/use said submission ( “We are pleased to inform you that your story submission has been selected as a finalist for publication consideration”): done.

New manuscript evaluation assignment received and downloaded (this one is YA, hurrah!): done.

Planning meals etc. for the boy’s birthday weekend with family: done, with help. (Parents arrive tomorrow night, more hurrah!)

And now, the boy has been asleep for almost two and a half hours. I will check on him again.
