I can't believe I'm posting.
I've been so busy (for me)
I'm actually waiting for the "other shoe to fall" so to speak due to how much running around I've been doing the last two days to prepare for the PhD course coming up in a week.
It's strange - I'm leaving for a whole month so I'm trying to anticipate what I might need during that time. I'm trying to take a minimalist approach. On the other hand I want things to be easy for me while I'm there.
I'll be living in a dorm room that also has a full fridge and sink (no stove). I'm trying to prepare so that I'm pretty much self sufficient - so that I don't need to leave my room much if I don't have to (except for class of course).
However, I was out of the house for 3 hours yesterday and 2 today which is A LOT for me.
Tomorrow I'm not running any "out of the home" errands unless I absolutely have to. I have a friend who's willing to do stuff for me if I need (my roommates are away for two weeks).
Am I excited? Yes.
Over the last 3 weeks I read the text for the course to lessen my workload during July. This has helped pull me a little out of the depressive pit I've been in.
And for some reason I'm not too worried about managing. I'm either going to manage or I'm not. I'm not going to push hard if I'm feeling unwell. But I have very little anxiety over it. I figure if I have to call 'er quits and come home, I will.
Accommodations are set up. Now it's just a matter of giving it a go.
I'm running a fever this week (over 100 two days ago, 99.5 when I checked today), but the flueyness isn't too bad. Right now I'm just exhausted, wiped, tired....
I think I really need to take it easy these last few days.
I'll try to post little updates in July if I can.
I hope all of you are well. I've been having trouble with comments on blogger so I've been posting comments that won't go through. I'm sorry....but I'm still reading some blogs when I can.
Wish me luck!
Oh, I really hope this goes super well for you. A new challenge and change...we all need those. Will hope to see updates from you...Take care now and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this adventure. I love your attitude - you can just come home if it gets too much. The world won't end, but you would have tried. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo - and thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI havent been able to comment on your blog due to sign-in issues etc.
I hope you have been able to rest up and feel a bit better after your huge ordeal (I went through similar six years ago and it was so exhausting.
Take care and have a good month
