After a couple good nights' sleep, I'm beginning to feel motivated again. Yes, I'm still buried in work, but they're medium-to-large chunks instead of giant superhuman ones, so at least I can breathe. And my "patented" treatment works as well as always. Whew!

Turns out that if you cut a baguette before vacuum-sealing it, you get bread jerky. Though it's very well-preserved bread jerky.

Had to avoid squirrelific areas on campus yesterday, as I found myself Out Without Peanuts. I hate when I'm OWP! Luckily, today I remembered to refill the bag, so I was able to walk with head held up through the squirrel areas again.

Tomorrow Maya Angelou is going to be speaking here. In all the hubbub I forgot to get tickets, so now I will see if any are still left. My colleague Melanie wants to go, too. This may be the first non-school sociable kind of thing I've done in months! (If I can get tickets, that is.) Well, I mean besides relationship stuff, which is a different sort of high priority.

See? Occasionally Blogger accepts your comments. Don't give up yet. (Just make liberal use of ctrl-c before hitting "publish your comment".)

...Yes, "relationship time" is more like "self-care time" (i.e. a necessity) and less like "optional, whimsical, event-attendance-with-mates time".

...Also, (as though there was some conversation occurring) a lot of times my browser just loads the last version it "remembers" of the blog, and I have to refresh a time or two for the newest version (including comments) to start popping up. I noticed that you left the same comment in two spots, so I wonder if that's what's going on...
