To be honest I'm at the point with submissions where the less I care/agonize about each one, the better, and it also all feels soulless and vaguely like begging for gods to come down and kick me in the ribcage, so it's better if I am doing something fun at the same time, even if it takes me more time to send out a submission.

So I wasn't editing at all, I was skimming magazines and trying to figure out which poems might fit where best, but beyond that it was a lot of copy/pasting and reiterating my same general cover letter when necessary. If I was editing I don't think I would have been nearly so conversant.

I also stayed pretty focused on just the back and forth between lil and me so that probably was part of it.

I just hate submissions and need to do more of them anyway. shrug

In retrospect, you should probably hang on to Mr.-OK-For-Now, even if he's not the pope.

Edit: reason - You seem to have feelings for him. Feelings are pretty nice when you have them for someone.
