Having a hard time getting started today. Well, that’s really nothing so unusual; it is pretty common that when I first get up I feel depressed and unmotivated. This week in lab we are doing muscles. Meaning that I have been trying very hard to learn these muscles, something I have never really studied before.
Tibialis Anticus Longus. Number 4 in this image. How does that sound? And once I have got the names down (only 6 for the frog, 7 for the cat, not unbearable), I must be able to find them to help the students find them! We’ll see how it goes. At least on Wed the prof will be around in his office so if I get stuck I can go drag him in. It seems a shame to have entire preserved cats when all we will be looking at is the hind limbs. I guess I’ll keep them around and perhaps they’ll get used for something else.
I MUST send in my application for the Hartsbrook fair. It’s been sitting here on the table, lost amidst the debris, and I just found it. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what DBA meant as I was trying to fill it out last night. I googled it this morning (hurray for Wikipedia – they have abbreviations entries) and it means “doing business as.” Why the hell don’t they just write “business name”… oh well. Now I can mail it off. For some reason K is here this morning, I guess he does not have to get into work until late, and it is very distracting to me. In fact, I think I will stop and do something else productive and finish writing once he leaves.
Ok, the place is clear and I have it to myself. Reminds me of how I used to not be able to meditate if K was around. I knew he didn’t like it and I wanted to avoid his judgment. At least I am past that. If he doesn’t like it, it is his tough noogies. But I don’t like writing because I hate the idea of someone perhaps reading a snippit of what I am writing. It makes me feel more constrained. Another excellent reason to get my own little laptop. Well maybe someday…..when I have all sorts of disposable income and no need to buy a new fridge, fix the washing machine, figure out if I can get G out to visit McCallister College and/or Carlton………
How odd, my arm is a little sore, and it reminded me that I had a dream that I had a huge purple bruise on my arm. I also dreamt a version of the apartment dream that I often have. Where we have moved into some sort of apartment. Usually it is one that we have had for ages but not lived in for some reason. Very odd.
Meanwhile, as I waited to get back to morning pages, I started a fire, started a laundry, and cut up the rest of the beef from the meat csa and put it in the oven to make beef jerky. Oh I do love beef jerky and it is a good way to preserve it, since eating an entire roast is more than we can do before it would spoil. So I have been productive. And I filled out the Hartsbrook form and will send it off.
