Jan. 14th, 2012 02:23 pmRight now, I'm drinking very fine coffee and eating half-frozen raspberries. I love half-frozen raspberries. And I love putting off my urgent work...
Actually, I only have about five hours of work that must-be-done-lest-the-skies-fall to complete before Sunday night. This situation of odd laziness will change, but not, I think, before Tuesday. I've run out of reviews and articles due, until the last two volumes arrive for Aurealis (postal confusion means they're late) I can't finish my Aurealis reading, and my supervisor has both dissertation and novel currently, and the Beast is being pondered on the other side of the world.
I shall be making a start on the reviews that I will soon have to do, of course. I have two books of mathematics to read, for instance, and a rather fascinating one on temporal imagination. On Monday, I start up an interview I was in the middle of when the festive season hit and (hopefully) get student material for my teaching*. On Tuesday I teach. I have a bunch of other stuff that will start happening on Monday, too, and have left myself notes lest I forget. But today and tomorrow, I can toddle. As long as I do my five hours, I'm fine.
I'm going to take a deep breath and enjoy my afternoon break. It's not replacing anything I must do. It's actual, real, genuine time out.
*I have the teaching planned with material and without material, since systems glitch, and besides, I've taught it both ways other times.
