Why do I feel like I’m gonna hurl?

~ Scott W. Baker

I just finished my Clarion application!  (I missed the application invitation when I paid my fee, but someone from the Clarion Foundation was kind enough to point me to the right webpage.)  And now I feel like I’m going to vomit.  Is that related to the application?  Or is it the fact that I was lying on my stomach while I filled it out, after eating microwave Chinese food and a stack of cookies?  Or did I forget my reflux medicine this morning?  Or is it because my daughtehad a stomach flu and now the beast has come for me?

Well the application is done anyway.  If I hurl, I hurl.  I’ll survive either way.

I still need to do the CW app.  Still waiting on my source to advise me thoroughly before I send it.  It will all be out there soon.  Then just more waiting.

I hate waiting.
