Today is tomorrow...
Jul. 10th, 2007 07:35 amAside from the effects of not having eaten for 13 hours and counting (I'm fasting for blood tests which will be done in about an hour), and having less than 6 hours of sleep on a semi-perpetual basis, I'm actually feeling pretty good.
I came to the decision yesterday that I don't think I'll be teaching the last two weeks of the course. Teaching is probably the smart move and the right move, but my mind is completely rebelling at the idea. I've been a basket case for the last week, and I don't want that to continue for the next two and a half. Partly, I suspect it's due to new synthetic hormones flooding my system, partly due to sleep-deprivation, but a lot of it is also due to stress. And I don't need that stress right now. Having made the decision, I'm actually feeling liberated. Even though it might not be the right choice financially, it's the right one emotionally, and even counting Pennsic, I've got enough money to last me until late September, when my usual work will pick up again.
In other news: karate last night was good, and I learned new stuff that I hadn't learned before. (For those in the dojo: seisan bunkai #1-12.) I like learning new stuff. Also, I worked with the only person who attends the adult classes who's smaller than I am. She's about my height, but about 5 pounds lighter. It was really, really odd. I'm not used to being the "big" one.
Finally: doctor's appointment in half an hour. He'll be taking blood from its happy place inside my body to somewhere unhappy and outside my body. In exchange, he'll be inserting some dormant disease cells into my body to prevent later awake disease cells from entering my body (also known as a vaccination). Fun times, fun times.
Now, to get dressed and head out. TTFN.
Edited, 9:49 am: I feel like a pincushion. Sooner or later, I'll start thinking clearly and be able to use my arms without feeling uncomfortable. Until then... pincushion.
