If you're the prayers or good-thoughts type, spare one for me today. I still have the cold. (No fever any more, but still feel lousy and low-tolerance). Today is going to be bad:
1. The full round of classes including a lab I had to change at the last minute because roads are flooding here so we can't go out to the field site and I'm not sure everyone got the message.
2. After classes, a student's Master's defense (Secret: this is almost as stressful on the committee members as on the student)
3. Meetings at church, and I think this is the time when we decide whether or not to renew the minister's contract, and if we don't......well, I don't know what we will do. (If it were up solely to me, I would. The perfect is the enemy of the good and all that)
4. Still no news on what the latest round of budget cutting is going to entail, whether we get more furlough days or summer session is cancelled or what.
I can't beg off on any of it even though I'm not feeling well. I keep telling myself that in 24 hours it will be all over (my standard way of dealing with something difficult coming up is just to tell myself I will live through it) but there's going to be a lot to get through between now and then.
