Working

Well, at least I know writing here everyday is working. I swear part of the reason I couldn't sleep last night was that I didn't do any writing yesterday.

I thought, since I'd had two beers, last night would be a good night to skip the sleeping pill. Apparently, I was wrong. I was up at 1:00pm. I was up at 3:00pm. I tried moving to the couch in my office, which usually works. Nope. So, at around 3:30, I went back to bed and finally got some sleep. Then the alarm went off. Then the dogs needed to protect me from the cat by barking their little heads off.

Needless to say, I am a little grumpy today.

Re-Thinking

Registration is not over yet and I'm sure this will all change; however, yesterday, when I looked at my course registration there were only 5 people. 5 people. I cannot run my syllabus will 5 people. There are too many group projects. Having only 5 people would put too much work on them. So, today, I'm trying to come up with alternate projects. It's best to be prepared.
Plus, I've asked them to buy certain books, which means the course will have to stay pretty much the same. Unlike, regular faculty, I don't think they can cancel my course, which means I'll have to go forward-the question is how? It's not that I can't do it. It's jut more work for everyone involved.

2 1/2 pages...

2 and half pages were all I could muster today. No, not of my dissertation. Although my life didn't flash before my eyes and I didn't see a bright light of any kind, it seems that everything has to be re-lived in order to get the present right. At least I got something done. Hell, maybe I'll edit it all out anyway.

I got Depeche Mode's "Violator" album for Christmas--I still really like it. How's that for a smoke bomb? Changed the subject didn't it.

Opinions

If you'll remember, I created this lovely board when studying for comps. It was a lovely system inspired by "The Board," but now it needs new life.

I want to keep the taped up sections. I like them. What I would like are suggestions about how best to use this board. Creativity counts. Oh, and it is now in this position on my wall. It will be much more useful there than in the yarn closet.

Chores...

Since, I cleaned my room yesterday, I should probably attack our bedroom today. I just don't feel like it. There are some crochet projects I need to work on, but I don't feel like that.

In fact, I don't feel like much of anything. Cleaning my room was supposed to make me feel like working. No so much. Maybe I instinctually know that working will make my room messy again.

Today, I'm supposed to hang out with Poetpixie. I have no idea when or what we will do, which is par for the course. Before she gets here I'll see if I can muster up a post with some content.

Decor...

After a year of living here, I figured it was time to start decorating my office. It's not done yet. There are a couple more posters to put up. I'm also thinking of putting up some cork board and my Board from comps. I haven't figured out how yet, but I will make that useful.

The process...

Okay...clearly I need to learn more about adding pictures, but here is the after, halfway, and before of cleaning my office. Now, I just have to hang my posters.
