THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

burned at both ends

It's after ten p.m. The bollix that hit today's plan was an unexpected doctor's appointment. I did mark two papers while I was in the waiting room, but I had to wait to get home to do the comments--and I realized I needed to run some errands on the way home, so I didn't start grading until 7:30. This is taking for-fucking-ever. I'm going to have to get up at 5 in order to have even a faint shot of getting them all marked--and that's with bailing on both tomorrow's meeting and Advisement. Shit. Fuck.

I'm sure there are things that happened today that I could/should comment on, but my brains aren't working well enough to do that. I'm hoping like hell that after at least a few hours of sleep, I work more efficiently--but I have to assume I won't, and make sure I have enough time to get them done, and at this rate, I'll need five hours. Coda: Shit. Fuck.

Well, but blogging isn't going to get me to sleep, so I will sign off. I hope I get a chance for at least a quick post tomorrow, even though I'll have a lot to do after class (and will be paralytically tired)--but I won't be blogging on Thursday; I'll be out of there so fast I may break the sound barrier.
