It's Thursday So It Must Be 6 a.m.

Back to the usual routine. Thursday at 6 means that I am in the office catching up on paper work, blogging, and thinking about my academic life in general. Don't worry, I don't think that I have enough energy for snarkiness this morning.

I think the months of insomnia and the craziness of Cs last week have finally caught up with me. Lisa says that it's mind over matter and I should just tell myself that it's allergies, but that's kinda hard for me to swallow considering the fact that I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck. So today I am going to go home after I teach. I'm skipping racquetball, rescheduling my directed study meeting, and canceling office hours. Let's see if the world really stops turning if I do this.

I'm going home to put my feet up and try to wade through a mountain of dissertation chapters that await my perusal. At some point I also need to address the 3 scholarly projects in process that are also demanding my attention. It looks like it'll be a working weekend for me, but I like to think that at least by being at home and working from the comfort of the couch that I will be recuperating.

I am trying to avoid the bi-annual case of pneumonia (or as granny says pee-neumonia ) that I get when I burn the whole damned candle at once.

Oh yeah, gotta go home and make snacks for the GTA knit-together at my house tonight. Guess that means I'll need to dust and do the dishes that I skipped last night too, eh?

Yep, it's the 4th Thursday again. 6 p.m. You coming back?

knit and spin

Sam, you are so gracious to organize this every month, especially with how you've been feeling. I can't express how relaxing it is to break away from all of this academic anxiety to just sit and laugh and use my hands and eyes for something other than typing and reading. Thank you.

a little fiber makes it all better

I am glad to do it. It's relaxing to us all. No better way to end the week than with knitting and treats. Even if the cake was store bought this week!
