A Bit of Ease

Today went off without a hitch. In fact, it possibly went off well. This was the best possible outcome and I am incredibly relieved. After my blog last night, I continued to work until half past midnight. But it all came together in the end, like it tends to. And the day with the students was rewarding. So it was all good.

This was probably one of the bigger things weighing down on me this week, so to have it be completed is a huge relief. Even though I still have an incredible amount of work to do in the next few days, and a camping trip to go on, I feel like I can breathe a little bit easier.

I feel like I've crossed the peak. There's still a lot to do, but this is all the downhill now. It seems more manageable. Though if I consider it, I'm not sure why. There's so much to do in the next seven days. I guess this one day made all the difference because it was the thing I felt the least confident about. The least sure of. Everything else, though much to do, is all things I know that I know how to do. Somehow that makes it all easier.

Aside from this huge sense of relief, there isn't much to say about today compared to yesterday. I met up with S after teaching in town. We went for drinks with people from his office. That was nice. Always good to catch up.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I fit everything in sometimes. My life is always either manic or dull. I don't seem to get to that in between stage of perfectly balanced commitments and free time. It seems all or nothing with me. On the plus side, in these manic times, it honestly leaves very little time to ponder other things. So much time thinking about everything I need to do - no time at all to just sit around and be maudlin.
