If I wanted to wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning, maybe. I think I can stay up for another hour, and then get into bed. I might be able to get up at the regular time, then, or maybe a bit earlier.

But you're probably waking up at some crazy hour to scale a mountain or run to Alaska or something. ;) I just want to stay asleep until around 6:30. Even 6, and I'd be happy.

Pfft. Such a smartypants. I am not currently allowed to run (and it's too cold, anyhow). I do not climb mountains. That's for scary people.

I do hope to swim in the morning, but that's pretty easy to do with this percentage of body fat, you know. I float really well!

Good night, paddington (and everyone else).

Zzzzzzz... . .     .        .             .

Good evening, everyone, and good night to those headed for well-deserved rest.

I didn't get nearly as much done on my article today as I hoped.  I feel angry with myself for accomplishing so little when I have so much time.  However, beating myself up is not productive.  The solution is to work more and work harder.  Onward.

Morning:
- Coffee
- E-mail fellowship people and ask if they're sending me tax info
- Finish revising introduction of my article still in progress, but I did work on it all morning
- Lunch

Afternoon:
- Back-up household laptops (FOR REAL! MUST REALLY DO IT TODAY!)
- Tidy kitchen
- Call energy company for third time to straighten up their inability to bill me automatically.  "Please.  I WANT to give you money."
- Go to mechanic
- Work on revising the subsections of the body of my article in progress

Evening:
- Read articles for workshop
- Spend 30 minutes entering bibliographic info into Zotero
- Spend 30 minutes making sure article footnotes conform to journal house style
- 1 hour of reading / notes on certain background issue for article
- Tinker with article in light of previous reading

Longer term:
- Taxes
- Health reimbursement thingy
- Work on job application for new job posting that I will not get
- Work on paper for March conference
- Work on paper for April conference
- Register for the March and April conferences ...

Thanks, norm.

Late day into the office; the past 2 or 3 weeks of nuttiness have taken their toll, so I'm trying to rest my body and use my brain for the rest of the week.

today's plan

• get up a little later than usual, read newspaper, drink coffee
• to office
• see if I can get sad neglected manuscript good enough to go to coauthors (who've probably forgotton it exists by now)
• e-mail students 2 & 3
• read stuff for intern
• think about book chapter that should have already been long written
• meeting
• home, eat, sleep, etc

For the love of all that's holy, it's snowing again. Stop the madness!
