What a feeling!

I'm almost caught up.

Not with long-term stuff, oh no. Please don't get the wrong impression here. But I'm almost caught up with homework and lab reports, lecture notes and studying -- the day-to-day workload of being a student. I've even done laundry, paid bills, and cleaned the cats' boxes.

(Looming on the horizon: study for finals, do an editing/proofreading project, do a diverse collection of small errands related to the Japan trip, and organize a truckload of bookkeeping. For me, right now, "long-term" means two to three weeks.)

I think I haven't been this close to squared away since I got sick in early February. It's an amazing feeling.
