Crazy time…
So after we got back from my uncle’s funeral, hubby & I entertained his folks for a few days while also trying to revise the diss (him) and write the book review (me). Then we were thrown into packing/moving hell trying to get some friends on their way to a tenure-line position in Penn. Diss is drafted & waiting for hubby to pick it (the unofficial version) up at the print shop. Review is in the hands of the editor. Friends should’ve arrived in Penn yesterday. And so it begins again.
Today we’ll help another friend (this one moving to Ohio) pack up his office & do some other odd jobs around his house. Hubby’s still editing his diss (for when they bound the final copy), & I have two articles to finish up.
Meanwhile. The summer is slipping away from us. Hubby defends on Monday & we leave the UP a week from Friday (so packing up this place & cleaning it for our tenant). Then we’ll have two weeks to prep for classes (damn, I didn’t order textbooks yet!) & a new year begins.
It’s crazy time here.
But I still hope to see major movement on the scale when I get back to the downstate house. & I’m thinking about heading back to the Y the minute we get home (okay, the following day) so I can get a routine going.
Hope ya’ll are doing well…I need to catch up!
I envision one bamf of a party when that diss is done.
Yes, get that routine going right away! I have to do the same when inservice starts here on the 19th b/c I know if I don’t a month or two will slip away from me if I wait to “find” the time. We need to MAKE the time.
You’re right - it does sound crazy! Sometimes though, I find those are the best times because you come away feeling energised (partly from the adrenaline!) and that makes starting exercise again easier.
Good luck!

I’m exhausted just from reading! A crazy time for sure.
