counting apples

incandescens15K. Of which I need to rewrite and reorganise 12K into 10K. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Weather's definitely cooler this week, thank heavens. I'd have been even less productive if it had been as hot as it was a few weeks ago. Trying to work out if I need to hit the shops tomorrow, or if I can hold off till Saturday or Sunday. Decisions, decisions. (Also, count the apples in the fruit bowl. If you can count them because there's only a single layer, then you're close to running out.)
(I eat a lot of apples.)
A strange dream last night. I was staying in an old house, in an upstairs room that usually belonged to another woman, and I brought her back a book that she wanted. She was glad to have it. My left eye was injured, I forget how, so I took it out and it was a piece of chipped obsidian. I tried to cry but I had no tears.
I very rarely dream, or at least remember dreaming, so this was unsettling.

Gitanjali (excerpt)
The song that I came to sing remains unsung to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set;
only there is the agony of wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the wind is sighing by.
I have not seen his face, nor have I listened to his voice; only I have
heard his gentle footsteps on the road before my house.
The livelong day has passed in spreading his seat on the floor; but the lamp has not been lit and I cannot ask him into my house.
I live in the hope of meeting with him; but this meeting is not yet.
-- Rabindranath Tagore
