A Frenzy of Activity! And Not All Procrastination!
So, here is what I have accomplished since yesterday:
Cooking:
Grading:
Prepping:
Miscellaneous:
Dr. Crazy is a dynamo!
Cooking:
- Roasted whole chicken.
- Made stock from chicken carcass.
- Made home-made stuffing, in dry-run to make sure I remembered how to do it for Thanksgiving next month (and because home-made stuffing is awesome).
- Made chicken salad from some of chicken.
- Made plans for the making of potato leek soup, chicken paprikash, risotto, and - an un-chicken-related dish - spaghetti carbonara.
Grading:
- Recorded grades from midterms.
- Graded quizzes.
Prepping:
- Reading for tonight's and Thursday's classes.
- Lecture/Discussion notes.
- Reading quiz for tonight's class.
- Extra credit assignment for tonight's class.
- Made copies.
Miscellaneous:
- Played with Man-Kitty.
- Got very angry at Man-Kitty for knocking over cacti (not the first time). Apologized for being angry after scaring him by vaccuuming up mess from carpet.
- Ran Dishwasher.
- Showered.
- Considered State of the Union.
- Considered whether I, as do others in the blogosphere, have "boundary issues." Stella says I do and that's why I've always preferred not to allow suitors into my home but instead to go into their homes.... Perhaps she has a point?
- Listened to Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, and NPR.
- Watched the Jane Pauley Show.
- Thought about how I'm not prepping for the classes that I hate, which kind of makes them suck and then increases my hatred of them.
- Thought about whether I'm unhappy here or whether I'm just bored. Are these the same thing?
- Wrote briefly in journal, though it was pathetic because I hadn't written in two weeks and I felt like nothing had happened in the interim so it annoyed me.
- Oh, and I did sleep, as well, for approximately 8 hours (!) last night.
