habeas bluh bluh bluh What a wasted day. Or a wasted weekend, at any rate.
I didn't make it out of bed until 3:30 yesterday afternoon. All I did last night was paint. A friend from high school called-- he's in town, and was something of a super-star here when he was in undergrad-- but I just didn't have it in me to go out.
Today was more painting and even more loafing around. All the while, I have this Respondent's Return to basically rewrite. It also appears as if the agency attorney who first wrote it might have, um, gotten the law wrong. So I'm supposed to figure out what the law is, rewrite the return, and have it ready by, oh, tomorrow, when it's due with the court.
Guess I'll get on that.
