Horseshoes and Handgrenades

Sounds like the tenor of my school committee meeting tonight.

I am weary. There is so much going on right now. Worn out, and anxiously awaiting vacation.

Carry on...

Where Do You Go When No One's Following You?

Feeling really overwhelmed right now with all the work I have this week. I need to make it through to Saturday night.

Taught Monday night, came home and did homework for class. Yoga tonight, and now more homework. Friends from class are calling me for help, and I haven't even started the assignment. Tomorrow is bus duty, then dinner with the student government representatives and what is likely a long school committee meeting. Thursday night, my own class. Then Friday and Saturday, teaching weekend one of my other graduate class. How the hell did I get into this??

I'll make it. But I know I'm not 100% with any of these things, and that scares me. Keep breathing, though.

Musical interlude. The Foo Fighters and Bob Mould. Happy goodness to help me keep on keeping on :)

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who's commented and emailed and IM'd me in the last day. Well, the last week really, but the stress really came to a head yesterday. It meant a great deal to me to have this outpouring of support.

Nothing is definite, or immediate, but the shock was a bit much to take. I'm glad it's Friday evening, and I have a few days ahead to recharge. I also have two interviews next week, Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon. Second interviews which could lead to new employment. So, I need to prepare for those and repeat the rockstar performance from last Thursday.

Erik talked about a silver lining in his comment. I'm looking, Erik, trust me. I may have to rub some of the tarnish off first.

Again, thanks, all of you. It's nice to have friends when you're feeling completely overwhelmed.
