I had every intention of starting a new series of “jobs” today: updating the analysis of my stock portfolio, preparing for a guest lecture spot, reading up on school requirements for my teaching program, contacting my local school district about possible teaching jobs and beginning a video lecture series on art appreciation (since I might be in the running for a teaching position in this area).  Alas, I only got to the last one.  For some reason, I was tired all day.  Maybe I was still drained from this weekend’s CSET test, but I suspect it has more to do with allergies and a possible cold (my wife now has a cold, which I hope was the one I had last week).  I simply couldn’t stay awake!  In the afternoon, I solved this problem by playing tennis with my family.  It woke me up, but now I’m getting stiff thanks to too much recent inactivity.

Here’s the thing: I start a solid year of school in two weeks.  That’s non-negotiable.  I may want to take one day off somewhere in the next two weeks to relax before I restart college, but really, I’ve got a lot to do, and only a short window to complete it all.  I’ll need to really get going tomorrow.
