Today is going to be a busy day at home. I remember when I said, not that long ago, that I don’t do nothing well. Right now I’d like to do nothing exceedingly well. I am going through a sense of inertia, but I have miles to go according to Robert Frost, and I have to take those miles at a jog or faster.
Today I have this blog, papers to grade, a meeting with a student, a meeting with a committee (thank goodness for Zoom), and some of the book to write if I have time. I’m 1/3 the way through grading the assignment, and there’s another one on Thursday. I’m 17% through the 50k pages, but I’m 600 words behind even if I do my full words today. That’s the feeling that’s dragging me down. I hate a big pile of to-do.
I just noticed that my coffee cup is out of coffee and I don’t know how that happened. A definite “to-do” day. I will feel better as I cross things off the list, if I ever get that far. Life feels daunting today.
