rosawbut seriously, I wished I was for a little while last week, a week straight from the deep pits of hell. I tried to follow ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
merryish's example and make a list of good things happening in my life, but it took too much energy. Which brought me back to why I was so cranky in the first place. Ah, the vicious circle of life.
It is now Spring Break. And while I spent the first weekend at a professional conference and am now grading madly, after today I will have some actual days off. I have to work of course (next quarter's syllabus, book orders for summer and the ever present, never diminishing dissertation) but I get to sleep in and possibly see a movie. That feels like more leisure time than I've had since January. Glorious days of damned little (except the dissertation). Sigh of happiness (but always with the specter of the dissertation).
Mostly though, this is a GIP. I think I've finally figured out how to make the image 100x100 pixels. Plus, it was just the muslim new year so it's time for yet again more new years resolutions (I feel one should take advantage of as many opportunities for a new start as one can, especially when I feel as bad about everything as I do). I resolve to write more in my journal, to write on my dissertation and to work on the story idea I have for the fandom of sparkly dancing hobos.
We'll see how that goes.

You're always welcome to come and hang out, you know. For a little break. :-)
Oh, honey -- it's beautiful!
Date: 2003-03-25 02:11 pm (UTC)Hey, btw, I'm back , and I've been posting to LJ to put off answering email -- weird how the one seems easy and the other seems like work. Doubtless some other day, they'll fall the other way.
I hope Davis wasn't too grueling (sp?), and that you give yourself a day off before you jump back into the diss. Talk tonight?
