I'd like to get back to putting up these posts on Sunday mornings, but the days keep getting away from me. Sorry, UK friends!
ReplyDeleteFor my theme, I'm going to have a surprise visit from the city's building inspector. No permits have yet been pulled--that's because I've only just made arrangements with the contractor that Mr Fluff liked! Apparently my discussions with a structural engineer have somehow got around in the building department, and the guy who comes around is inclined to bully me about getting permits. I KNOW! I'm related to a whole batch of contractors who work in the next state north, after all. Happily, and coincidentally, while he's getting worked up, my oldest nephew and his partner stop by on their way to a coastal kid-free weekend, and the combination of testosterone and plenty of connections in the building trades gets the inspector to calm down and go away before I get to the spluttering stage. And then I can go on to have a pleasant visit with nephew & partner before they go on to their beachy B&B.
How I did:
- Book December flights: YES
- process 1 short grad assignment & 3 late or resubmitted papers: YES but (a) I forgot to give back the assignment and (b) one of the 3 was partially plagiarized. FFS.
- start drafting final exam for one class: NO
- comment on undergrad revised proposals: NO
- complete draft of M (and/or grovel to editors): YES? Complete-ish body, intro & conclusion remaining, lots of grooming needed. So far, editors silent.
- put car registration sticker on car: NO
- go to colleague's talk: YES
- pay bills, do some other financial things: YES and NO.
- gym at least x3: YES. Swam x2, cardio & weights x2
- take down spider-web decoration: YES
- vote: YES
- do something for fun/self-care, outdoors if weather permits: read 3 fluffy books (1 mystery, 2 fantasy) & failed to do any work on the weekend though I intended to try to catch up. I'd hoped to do something a little more active, like walking in a forest preserve, making cookies, or getting a massage, but I was more in a lie-around-and-do-nothing state of mind (& body).
ALSO: went out to dinner with friends, saw a favorite former student at colleague's talk, started reading a book I'm reviewing, and started reading a grad's chapter that I've been putting off for far too long.
Whine: I don't like this time of year, the way the light goes from early morning to late afternoon without ever seeming like it's midday. I know most of this group is farther north than I am, so I feel I should not complain, but there it is.
New goals:
- get out light box & use it in the mornings
- book hotel for extra night on December trip
- process 1 short grad assignment
- start drafting final exam for one class
- comment on undergrad revised proposals (TRQ!)
- polish draft of M, get back to W
- put car registration sticker on car
- gym at least x3
- do something for fun/self-care, outdoors if weather permits
