1.write a to-do list that merits 5 good hours of work on a cruddy Monday.
2. Get started on aforementioned list by 8:30 am, shortly after babble-check and coffee run.
3. Try to convince Jost that I'm not grumpy at him. I think Jost's great. Sorry about the miscommunication. If you really want to be angry, you need to switch coffee-stained shirt for a really itchy one that's max 9.99 at wal-mart, about 2 sizes too small and wear a really tight belt. That's enough to make even the tamest Jost really grumpy. And if you want to turn grumpy into threatening or frightening, just add 200mg caffeine :o) I'm kinda touchy about difficult profs, being surrounded by them, and dependent on them like never before in my life. Fortunately my advisor is kind, if somewhat neglectful. While I try to avoid the office intrigue, the fight for being alpha-grad student is kind of grating over time, and I've been at this for some time now...
4. Help husband prepare for bbq party tonight
4.1. Reacquire mojo, preferably via cuddling than verbal sparring.
5. Use q-tip to get the water out of my ears.
6. Smile at the first 3 people I see today.
7. Find something beautiful in the midst of... what feels like the prelude to Autumn
8. Brahms 2nd Sym. via process of elimination. 1 is too recent and raw, having just performed it, I'll only be humming the 1st violin part, rather than absorbing the Gestalt. 3 is too melancholy and intimate. 4 is too bold and manly.
******************And a Haiku alluding to my stimulant regime...
More daffodils at
seven-thirty this morning,
smell the coffee now?
