Even in the summer when there aren’t any classes and I really don’t have a schedule, I dislike Mondays. Today is even more fun because I have an ultrasound stuck in the middle of it. Nothing like having someone push on your bladder after making you guzzle 32 oz of water. At least there’s no anxiety wrapped up in this appointment.
Now that we’re getting so close to the end of the summer I find myself feeling a bit more productive. Nothing like crunch time to get you moving. This morning I finally submitted the manuscript that’s been ready to go for longer than I care to admit – why is it so hard to press submit? At least it’s done now.
Other things I’d like to get done today include finishing reading the chapter I started this morning, some writing on my lit review, and some reading for a section of my comps. Non-academically, I’d love to clean the bathroom and do some laundry. Yes, I said love. That’s how badly those two chores need to be done.
I also have some peppers out in the garden that are ready to be picked, and some weeds that need to be pulled. The glads in the front yard need some water but I’m worried the shade from the giant sycamore tree might have done them in. We’ll see. There’s also a random pumpkin vine growing out front (thanks to the squirrel that pushed the pumpkin off the porch last October) but it isn’t looking so healthy, either.
Then of course in the evening it’s time for an exercise class and a run on some local trails.
There aren’t enough hours in the day.
On the casual reading front, I finished Sookie #7 last night. Thinking I might not allow myself to go get #8 until after comps…
