Bisque, And Same as it Ever Was.
Today was weird. And good. And weird. I had an online class this morning, so I got up to run. (Run/walk. Whatever.) The power had crashed in my neighborhood while I was out, and my DSL modem was jammed. I finally figured it out, but I lost a lot of time. Then, I lost more time while I printed stuff for the afternoon class and ran out of paper.
But I made a deal with myself this year: I will take care of myself. One thing that I will do is be healthy, and that includes running and eating right. Another big deal is that I will not get upset. Oh sure, sometimes getting upset is warranted. But printers crash and assignments are turned in late, and life goes on. I can get the job done with drama, or I can just get the job done. I choose option 2. So I fixed stuff and dug up resume paper when I ran out of laser white, and that’s that. I like this. I feel better. I could do without the stress and drama. I’m sure that I’ll have a massive meltdown some day over something trivial that happens in class. Not today, though.
I still have an 8-page paper to write, but my undergrad training taught me a lot about writing under pressure. I’ll be fine. And I stopped for early dinner with a really good friend, and that was worth all the trouble of the day. I had a decent but tiny breakfast, and had to stop to eat just a large order of fries for lunch, due to delays. So it was nice to sit down for dinner and have Italian Tomato Bisque and a salad.
Gonna crash for a bit, then write. Yay Friday, with or without a paper and a presentation looming. It’s all ok.
