Various



Right now I am simply trying to make it through the day. 

  • I am starting my embryology class.  Scheduling problems with arrival of certain organisms has had me scrambling on what to do today for this class.
  • I ran.... to get it done... but also to try to dissipate stress hormones related to my anger at the person who had been mean/rude/various other descriptors last Thursday.  I would like to tell the person off, but that is not an appropriate strategy.  I would like to "ignore" things, but that keeps it festering in my mind.  I think I will try to write out my feelings and then try to edit them down as a POTENTIAL document I may send this person.   But, it also irks me that I would have to devote a helluva lot of time to write out these feelings and also to edit them.  Time that I resent needing to find for this situation.
  • My SIL with the kidney dialysis and the wound vac may be coming to stay with us for several days because her husband has to be away.  I love my SIL, but admit the drastic changes in routine this will induce feels stressful.
  • The schedule changes due to my SIL's stay also mean swimming with my wife is likely off the schedule and I would need to go solo (not as relaxing, peaceful, nor as enjoyable without her), or not go (no stress relief/relaxation).  
Not much else I can focus on at the moment.  It is not really the kind of start to the semester I had envisioned, nor is it what I had hoped for.  It has made me emotionally and mentally tired.
