Moving Through My Days

7:45 am

                I need to leave by about 8:30 this morning to get to the chiropractor, then on to work. I’ve been very good lately – doing my stretches, and even (!) doing the aerobic thing. I tried out the gym at work before break – just fast walking – then while it was closed I was being very good about getting in brisk walks outside. Now the gym is open again and I have actually gotten myself there and been running on the treadmill. It is not as odious as I thought it would be. I really need to get another PlayAway or something else that I can listen to while I run. I tried looking at a magazine wed but that didn’t work too well.

                In spite of all that I am feeling cruddy. Well, I guess I am anxious about a bunch of stuff. I spent pretty much all yesterday measuring the fairgrounds. I should say that measuring the fairgrounds is all I accomplished. I didn’t spend all day doing it because I got started so late. And of course it takes quite a while to get there. And then I spent the late afternoon trying to make up a map. I had downloaded a satellite image, and I wanted to put my measurements on that. It was not easy!!!! I really wanted to put a grid over the top of the image, and could not figure out how to do that. It was very frustrating. Ok, I did finally figure out how to put a table over the top, and that kind of worked, but then I decided to just draw it out on graph paper. Then in the evening I got it enlarged and copied and I put the measurements on it. Now I need to try to scan it and email it to the vendor chair from work. My other evening project was to go to the Girl Scout leaders meeting to present my idea about teaching scouts some of the crafts and having them help at the fair. I got a few seemingly solid bites, we’ll see what comes of it.

                My other big worry, of course, is getting the college financial aid stuff done. Ugg ugg ugg. I will try to start in tonight and really tackle it solidly tomorrow. Of course a big part of tackling it is figuring out what information I need to find and where to find it. And meanwhile at work I feel like I am getting nothing that I had intended to do done. Mainly I had wanted to evaluate this past semester’s labs. I guess I will start in on that today, in between continuing to organize my computer files (and clean my desk!)
