7:45 am
    Up reasonably early, and I took the Nyquil again, but just once when I went to bed, so I don’t feel drugged this morning. I did my stretches, I feel reasonably on top of things. I need to leave for work at 9 or 9:30, so until then I will see if I can do some spinning….. or grade those exam pages….or empty the dishwasher…..manymany options. I do want to meditate, way too often that gets put aside. And there are still buns to feed and breakfast to eat and lunch to make.
    Yesterday we did bones in lab. It was ok. The prof loved it because they were all so busy and quiet. I found it kind of boring. Not much for me to do. Maybe today I’ll correct yesterday’s papers while they draw. The amazing thing is that this has forced me to learn all those bones. I now know my ulna from my radius, my parietal from my occipital! And the exam was way too easy. I think that is partly my fault because of my comments. Well, next one….
    My big accomplishment (in terms of getting those annoying “things left hanging” done) was to make it to the Post Office after work and buy stamps (and I still caught the bus!). That meant I could stamp all those letters the kids wrote to President Obama on 10/10/10. Now I just have to put them in the mailbox on the way out. One thing done.
    K will be off in Clarksburg tonight. He is going to Adams to pick up his bow and then he will spend Friday at the farm practicing shooting it. Oh so cool. It means that I am footloose and fancy-free tonight. And then tomorrow we have Karaoke!!! What will I do tonight? I would like to spin. I find that now with the dark coming so early, and with the cold, that once I come inside that is that, I don’t want to go back out for anything. But with most of my fiber stuff out in the sunroom, it means that nothing fibrous gets done once it is dark. But that is silly. It is also silly that I can’t get myself to take the compost out in the dark. It has nothing to do with fear, just some sort of reluctance or laziness. Because it means putting something warm on, putting on shoes or boots, turning on lights. Oh so so much work! I have to work on pushing myself past some of these things a little better. And I find that once dinner has been cooked and eaten, I am DONE. I will put food away and load the dishwasher (provided it is not full), but that is about all. I will not empty the dishwasher in order to fill it. I will not take out compost. I will not do any more cleaning or tidying. And since what with work and all, I probably did no cleaning or tidying earlier, well, it does not get done!
