Even though I am feeling crazily stressed, the rain is making my heart so, so happy.
Biggest sources of stress of the now:
Trying to get some narrative flow for my conference talk on Saturday. It's happening, but slowly. I have to engage in a lot of positive self-talk to make progress.
Teaching. The wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly sometimes. The general organization for the course relies too heavily on online tools, which I cannot access because I am adjuncting. So there are limits to how much I can prepare in advance. Frustrating and nervous-making because next week is showtime.
I am overscheduled as of late this afternoon, so I will only have limited small chances to make progress on anything over the next couple of days.
I wish I had a knitting project lined up for the conference. Sigh.
