Well, I believe I have determined one of the factors contributing to my foot troubles (metatarsalgia, you may recall--if you're my mother). Biking. Yep. That's right. My foot hurts again after all of the biking I did last week. On the other hand, I know what to do to make things better--I just need to put a little bit of padding in the shoes that I wear whilst biking. Or I could just get the foot amputated.

I was going to work on a sewing project yesterday, but ended up doing all sorts of other odds and ends instead: cleaning and lubing my bike chain (only had to scrub and de-grease 3 times before the chain was clean--yeesh); cleaning the shower (lots of buildup on the glass--pretty gross); talking to my brother, yadda yadda yadda. But it was a nice day because I rested as well.

Now it's time to run around the lab and organize and such. We finally have permanent furniture in there, so we can actually move in (only a few months later...). Whee!

One of my favorite principles is Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.

I can feel the effects of Parkinson's Law this week--without the Manuscript of Doom hanging over my head, I have found a million small tasks to occupy my time instead--tidying my desk, making myself a latte...I'm still busy, but at least I'm not stressed out.

Well, it's not entirely my fault. I have mostly devoted more time to helping out my minions with their various needs and projects--some more high-maintenance than others, as usual. Dealing with people does make it harder for me to get my own things done, especially when those things aren't as fun and exciting as, for example, sitting in front of my computer and looking things up and such.

Mmm. Well, my mind is wandering this morning--I went to bed with enough time to get sleep last night, so of course at 3 am my eyes popped open and refused to close until it was nearly time for crew. I don't think I would have minded so much if I had been able to put that time to good use, but alas, that was not the case. Post-crew, of course, it was difficult to drag myself back out of bed (soooo snuggly and warm...). Obviously something will have to change, or else.

Okay. Time to face the music.
