Test of Mettle

The chaos continues. 

Not only is this one extremely stressful week for me in terms of preparing for a research talk, and helping students prepare for their research posters, the chaos of the corona virus, the gas prices, the stock market all are making this week a week that is testing my mettle to the maximum. 

I ran, but to try to save time, I only ran 5 miles which is the minimum I need to do each day, so that I could get to the U earlier.   I stayed up last night into the wee hours of the morning writing a test so that it could get to graphics in time.

Our Starbucks has a new policy I came across today where they no longer allow refillable cups due to the Corona virus scare.  So, I was carrying around a bunch of different cups until I could put away my refillable ones back in my office and lab.

Too much work, and way too little time.   And, I am having to keep a close eye on my emotions.   They are feeling very tumultuous at the moment, and to keep my Lenten vow, I need to keep as tight a reign on them as possible so that I do not go into an angry state.

And, of course, I am missing my friendly pipes as well.
