Oh my gawd everyone is so nice and even though my weekend sucks because of having a cold, I love the world!! I got a big box of fancy chocolates in the mail with a sweet note! JM you rock my world! I'm happy to join the Society of Composition Teachers and Chocolate Lovers... I could not believe how nice that was or how nice it made me feel and it was the perfect surprise!
On other fronts, I will happily write in the NEXT citadel women's party on my calendar right now so that we can get a posse together and increase the mayhem next month!
So I'm trying to just think "right, it's a weekend where I loaf around, shirk, rest, recuperate, laze, wear silly hats, blow my nose a lot, nap, put all the books away that are by my bed, finish reading "Golden Witchbreed", write a blog post or 2, print some handouts for class, nap some more, hot tub, fold 8 loads of laundry, and cook enormous pots of bubbling chicken soup" and to see that as positive and cozy and nest-like and caring-for-myself instead of hating life because it's rude enough to give me a slight cold and I want to cry because I don't get to go to a PARTY.
This plan will ensure that I get better incredibly quickly instead of sliding into bronchitis and weeks of hell! There will be no pushing it, or overdoing it, or thinking "oh probably everything will be just fine". Instead, today is all about cooking, eating, and NAPS.
I have to go shopping AGAIN though b/c there's no coffee. And suddenly (despite my stomach problems) I want some kind of fantastic turkey bacon and waffles and syrup and delicious coffee with condensed milk in it, and 5 different kinds of fruit. NOT vile dry cardboardy cereal from the box as I have been nibbling for the last two weeks. SYRUP. WHY am I typing things in all caps every few words? I feel yelly in the emotions, all over.
Sun. Loafing around. Must put together printouts of all the translations and have it ready to mail off. (afternoon: maybe Xyzzy & B. and their imaginary baby come over? hot tub? board games?)
Mon. teach, go talk to S. (lunch with Minnie?) Do science exp. with Moomin
Tues go to S.??
Wed. Teach. Lunch w. Lisa H. at That Place. Then, wiki thing all afternoon & into evening (arrange with Rook)
Thurs. work?!
Fri. Work (OR will i go to LA to this one-day mini conference? must look at ticket prices.) Oh, how nice it is to write "work" and think that it is a little more real than the work I just make up for myself to do. (Which is certainly "real" but... it's different)
