Oct. 28th, 2002 10:41 amMy office is painted a very light blue and has no windows. I've decided that the color somehow makes my brain think that it's raining outside, and when I leave my office and actually look out the windows, I'm always surprised when it isn't. Today was one of the first days I didn't feel like it was raining outside while I sat in my office, and then I went to look out a window, and it actually is raining. Not sure what to make of that.
I started the weekend with such feelings of productivity. I was going to sort through all of my nervousness stuff, especially collage materials, that I've received and left on my nervoustable. I was going to transform my closet into an autumn mode from its current summer mode (I don't have enough closet space, so only one season's worth of clothes is allowed to live in the bedroom at a time, and the rest lives in the spare). I was going to finish a bunch of nervousprojects, bake, make soup, clean the house...
As the weekend progressed, I got little projects done, but nothing quite finished. I was confident that Sunday evening I could really buckle down and accomplish stuff. Sadly, I arrived home from a long dog walk with a pounding headache, and was in bed by 8:00pm. I used the extra daylight savings hour to sleep. Apparently it's what my body really wanted to do, so I suppose that's all fine and good.
I did have a chance to appreciate the beautiful fall colors, with a 40 minute walk along Sligo Creek, a space closed off to cars on Sunday, and then a dog walk in some random naturey trail area out in Columbia. It apparently belongs to a dairy farm, or ag research facility, or something, but no one uses it much, so a friend and I took our four dogs out and romped about. I also watched a Buffy that I hadn't seen before (Dawn finds out she's the key), started knitting a hat, did 5 loads of laundry, and had some pretty good Pad Thai for dinner last night, so the weekend wasn't a total wash.
This morning is cold as usual in my office. I may have to get some fingerless gloves so that I can type. I'm getting ready for the big rush of course registration advising appointments, in which I'll see each of my 248 advisees for 20 minutes apiece over te course of a month. That's the best case scenario, at least... in reality, I'll probably see about 60% of that, and spend the rest of my time trying to track down the rest and make sure they get into classes, get their fees paid, etc. At least I'll feel productive.
