My day started at the normal 8:30 time and with all the intern apps, volunteer coordinator apps, and administrative things that needed to be done I was there until just before 5 pm. I quickly ran home, showered, and grabbed a quick bite to eat (a bowl of honey nut cheerios). Off I ran to the board meeting where I shared my road rashed/ jean burned knees with everyone from the countless hours I have been spending stripping and waxing the floors.
After the meeting adjourned I returned home to the next set of 30 intern applications I brought home to read. This brings my total read to 140 and I know there is 19 more at work, plus what ever I pick up from the mail tomorrow. The post mark deadline was the 28th of Feb, so there should only be a few more days of them trickling in. Which is good because I have to have them all read by the time I leave on Friday morning for the symposium in Chicago.
I am done with my "work" for the day, so I am relaxing with some facebook scrabble with friends and family. But my mind is still racing with work things. How I need to get my apartment cleaned tomorrow night before I leave for a week, how I need to pick up movies and dishes from a friends house, which enclosure I am going to move the great horned owl into tomorrow, what to do about the Thayer's gull that isn't eating, and how to pack for my trip so I don't have to take a suitcase (extra money, plus I hate having to wait for luggage).
No wonder I have felt so stressed lately. All these things constantly pushing through my head. I know my cat can feel the energy; she has been very snuggly lately and as I type this she is sharing my lap with my laptop constantly rolling over and rubbing her head on my hands as I type.
I hope every one of you have been doing well.
