Jumbled Timetables

 It was very cold and with heavy rain this morning (38 degrees F ( 3 C)) at 5am.   I also had to be at the  U VERY early for some nonsense.  So, I did not run.  

I worked like a diligent cyborg dog all day long at the U., keeping just the tiniest smidge ahead of schedule.  Getting hundreds of student emails a day is so daunting and exhausting.  

I rushed home quickly, and strapped on my tired shoes with over 1000 miles on them already, and headed to the trail.  I forced myself to complete the full 9 miles I should have done this morning.  I just got back.  It was actually nice to be running in the light of the day, though.  It was a very dark grey, cloudy day, but it was LIGHT!  

Since I am just a smidge ahead as I stated above, I am not going to do another damn piece of work this evening... not even check e-mails.  Even though it is not in the cards.... I am at least going to allow myself the pleasure of IMAGINING having a beer (imagining a dark, very hoppy IPA) and a large bowled pipe (cube cut, Sir Walter Raleigh is what I am imagining) while I take my shower and get on my flannel pajamas.
