Exhaustion


 

I am really very tired at the moment.  Not sure why.... but I suspect it is because I have so much more TO DO before I can relax at the end of the day.  I suspect I will not be home until 7:30pm at the earliest.  This makes for too damn long of a day.

  • Ran 10 miles (~16 km) starting at 5:55am.
  • Taught a laboratory experience using Caenorhabditis elegans, a small nematode renowned in development for Nobel Prize level research on cell migration in early development.
  • Taught another big lecture.
  • Been grading exams.

And still so damn much more to do.  I do not feel up to listing these additional tasks

  • PCS = 6 - In some ways, I think I am so tired, that the potential WORK invovled in getting a pipe ready has lowered my score.  If it were an easy and simple task at the moment, my PCS would be more of an 8 I believe.  
  • I am HOPING to sneak a few minutes in before the U pool closes, to at least take a BRIEF swim.  But, I may not make it, depending on what I still have to get done.

Just too damn tired.

    This is such a stressful and packed time of year for teachers and professors. It's overwhelming. I am glad to be retired when September rolls around.

    That was my biggest stumbling block when it came time to taking up the pipe: All the prep time and futzing with the charring light, the tamping, and whatnot. Keeps me from smoking often, I'll tell you that.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
