Out of Shape

Mentally AND physically.

I feel bad I haven't called my parents lately.  But I have so much work I just don't have time to talk and late afternoon early evening is when I focus best...maybe I can make time tomorrow.

Another long day today - up at 7:30, shower, eat, go to class.  Had my 9 am - 12 pm drafting class today, then I stayed later, had a quick lunch, and went to the library to do some scanning before my 2 pm - 5 pm class and gave my first presentation.  I felt shaky and stupid and awful, but I think (on sober reflection) that I did ok.  It was REALLY hard making the presentation interesting when the prof had literally gone over EVERYTHING before. 
Then I did some more  drafting, and got it wrong so I erased the wrong part and came home.  I walked in the door, dumped my stuff on the couch, and turned on the oven to start baking the potato.  Of course once it was in the oven I managed to change and unpack my backpack and do some work - mostly downloading scans and things.  Ate dinner, and got some work done, and then remembered I'm 17 days behind in updating and backdating all my stuff so I stopped to do that.  Just one file left now, but it's my photo file, it'll be about 40 minutes, if I'm lucky!

So I did my situp routine, and a 10 minute yoga routine (the old break in my wrist really doesn't enjoy my new yoga attempts, nor does my left knee...) and now I'm trying to decide whether to be a) good and work some more b) bad and work on my novels c) bad and try some calisthenics or d) bad and snooze on the couch until midnight.

Right now, I'm leaning towards B.  I'm going in early to draft some more tomorrow, and if I can stand it, I'll stay late too.  Same goes for Friday, although Friday is an opera get-together and Saturday night I have a date so that'll cut into some prime homework hours.  But I MUST have some mental relaxation/stimulation that isn't from work or school.  Or the next time you'll hear from me I'll be writing a blog called, "A Dozen Sherds Short of a Pot and in a Nice Padded Room for Repairs."
