House In Order, day 23

[cjsmith]

I'm experimenting with doing "chores" in the morning, rather than in the evening. This is so that when I get home tired from work I can have some real down time instead of slowly-muster-energy-for-another-obligation time.

- Finished/put away the laundry
- Started a load of dishes
- Completed first set of mods to the Boulder Holder (with scissors and wire cutters and a metal file: shrink the "wires" on the armpit side)

Off to an appointment and then to work, yee ha.

Since school started, I've been "a little from column A, a little from column B," usually doing mundane stuff like dishes and such in the morning, and saving more involved stuff for after homework in tne evening.

I don't know how you're finding the energy... unless school, being a pursuit of a dream, is a little bit like my "down time" in that it is a time you are doing what you want to do. I so rarely have any time when I'm doing what I want to do. That's precious to me. Maybe school feeds that, just a bit, for you?

I'm not sure but I think you may be on to something there. Although when I get frustrated with the learning and have to work on it a lot more than usual (luckily most concepts come easily to my understanding), like I am with the material for this week's calculus test, it starts to sap the energy as I plod through. I have to "keep my eyes on the prize" too, not being in any specific meteorology courses or research work yet.

Before this head-first dive into school, I was right there with you, though - even not working full-time, it was a drag to get anything done that had to be done. Now, while I still hate washing dishes and such, getting stuff done is progress.

Maybe the trick for me is just to keep "moving".
