Neurotica

29 Sep

She stared at her “canned” section testily. Ran her eyes over the months with odd-numbered posts. Felt dissatisfied about those that didn’t end evenly.

December: 15 posts

May: 7

And then, just because she couldn’t bear one more month of unevenness, she ratcheted up the word count and ended September with a respectable 10.

Whew.

    And the comments? I have now made them even – at least for this post.

    OJ: And that’s the way I’m going to keep them. Thanks! More neuroses are always welcome. :mrgreen:
