It's been months since I've last blogged. I've been busy, and when I'm busy, I neglect what I find most therapeutic.
Well, at least I thought working 6 days a week and taking two college courses qualified me as a busy person. Then I found out my psychology professor is a full-time professor, a full-time student, and a single parent. Now I feel grateful for all of "free time" I have.
Today is the second snow day in a row. On Tuesday we had early dismissal. After all of my kids left, I grabbed my things, stocked up on food at the grocery store, and went home. I have not left the house since. Mail has stopped coming, I've been unable to use my car... It's been weird. But so incredibly needed.
I've gotten so much done. I've been able to grade papers, edit the book I helped translate, and even file my taxes. And I've just received an e-mail that tomorrow will be yet another snow day. Perhaps tomorrow I will just relax. No work, just pure relaxation. Probably not... I always find some sort of a project. Something to keep me busy.
I'm going a bit stir crazy. As fun as it is to work in the privacy of my own home, I miss moving. I'm used to standing up all day working with children, not sitting on my bed.
I suppose I could get used to this in small doses...
