Mental health day 2:

Didn't even get dressed properly. But did finish the seventh section of the embroidery. Screwed it up somehow, but it still falls under "Persian rug symmetry" where there's the same stuff in each section but not exactly in the same place. So I'll live. Seven down, one to go, and the last one is pretty much copying the one before it. Should go fairly fast.

I really desperately needed the time off. There's entirely too much angst around here, part of which is the curriculum change intersecting with the accreditation (which would be bad enough by itself, without the curriculum change), and part of which is the added (to me) angst from the oral surgery course. I needed to stop being marinated in all that stuff. So I did, and after Friday I stopped thinking about work at all except to be amazed when I didn't have to go back to it after two days off.

I didn't make it to Zootopia, because both afternoon showings on Sunday were sold out, and Monday was a snow day and therefore no school and therefore probably movies full of screamin' chilluns. Not my idea of relaxing, at least not for this round of relaxing. I'll get there eventually, though.

I also didn't do as much cleaning as I should have, didn't do laundry, and didn't manage to make lemon bars out of the Meyer lemon juice. I'll do that tonight assuming I still have a brain when I leave work and remember to buy eggs on the way home. Yesterday I wasn't willing to get dressed enough to go out in public and buy eggs. (I did make black beans on Saturday, though, because I had bought bacon ends on Friday.)

The cats refused to get up this morning, because they got used to getting up between 8:30 and 9:00 over the last four days. But somebody who lives in my apartment has got to go make some money, so here I am. And I only had 43 emails, and most of them were either medical area spam (lecture announcements, award nomination announcements, Harvard in the News, etc.) or FYI-type stuff. I can deal with that.

Onward. And hopefully upward, but I'll settle for forward.
