entry arrow7:52 PM | Floating and Surviving

Last night, at the end of a twelve-hour work day, I was walking home completely floating because of so many things I needed to do and finish, and the anxiety was high. Took me forever to go to sleep, but I think I finally slept knowing that I did what I could given my limitations, and I refused to worry about things beyond my control, e.g., the Middle East crisis, which has been wrecking havoc on our literary fest programming. Sometimes you just need to refuse to worry.

Today, I did not even think about my to-do list. I had one goal: to clean and arrange things in my office at the English Department, which has been just a repository of unpacked boxes, and cobwebs, and dirt. A big win! We don’t have to slay dragons every day [although this one has been a tiny, pesky dragon].
