8:20 on a Sunday night. LG has been down for just over an hour, during which time I read the last few pages for New Class, started the laundry, cleaned the kitchen and tidied the first floor of the house (including dumping the random kid crap on the floor into a bag for LG to deal with later), set the coffee maker for tomorrow morning (I'm at 2/3 decaf these days) and made chicken salad for my lunch. Still need to do LG's. Now I'm staring at the stack of "exercises" I assigned for my class, which really must be dealt with tonight. I was also planning on making a handout for my afternoon class, but I really don't see that happening (this is when I pray that no students actually show up for office hours so I can use that time block for extra prep). The bottom line is writing this is the absolute last thing I should be doing right now (well, I suppose watching reruns of Law and Order would be lower on the list, but you get the gist).
I'm just starting to feel how INSANE the next few weeks will be, including LG's birthday (still haven't figured out a party plan), conference travel, annual reviews, resubmitting my R&R, extra committee work (we've been meeting weekly already, and now the chair has uttered the words "retreat"), grading the first batch of "real" papers, and I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting. Oh, yeah, the fact that I'm planning on doing a cycle at the end of Feb/beginning of March (assuming, of course, I actually manage to get my period...day 3 estradiol level was over 500!! thanks to a monster Clomid cyst, which at least explains the return of Chronic Daily Headache). I'm tired just thinking about it.
