Midterm out of the way. Not as quite as bad as I had expected. I have a meeting later today. Going to scarf down lunch now, and try to get some work done.
Meeting did not happen, inexplicably. Sent a CYA email though, timestamped, loitered- and was more or less on my own puttering away at some work. Headed off to my evening class when the time came.
I am unbearably fucking sleepy today. It's kind of wild. No pick up today, so I'll be heading home on my own accord, but it feels like an insurmountable amount of distance away.
It has gotten cold enough to wear my favourite sweater out and about, though, so that's good. Will have to unearth the bag to dig out more sweaters though this weekend, which I am NOT looking forward to having to haul out and deal with, but that is a SUNDAY me issue, thank you very much.
Giving myself permission to start over and with a different project for RAWR has been really helpful, and I've made a lot of progress. Also the inherent terror of watching countdowns run down.
It has struck me how funny it is that I'm going to grad school for something completely unrelated, and also writing a novel for fun. Can we say mid-life crisis any louder??? (Though I'm not quite middle aged. Not yet, anyway. Dan is, though, I think. Must bring this up in a silly clown-y way when I talk to him next.)
