Sleepy afternoon in my office

I graded journals all yesterday and for part of this morning, but because I slept so badly last night, I'm sleepy and wishing I could return to the apartment for a nap. I'm trying to get work done so I won't feel bad if I don't bring any work home with me for my very short weekend. That is, assuming that the weather predictions don't turn out to be the worst-case scenario. We've had a few days of melting and thawing, even temps up in the 50's, so to return to snow, possibly sleet and freezing rain, maybe some school closings and dangerous roadways--well, suffice it to say that I am and have been more than ready for spring.

Tonight is Vagina Monologues. I've never seen it before, so I'm hoping I enjoy it. I also wish I knew what it meant to be recognized as a Vagina Warrior. Does one put this on one's resume, for example? :-)

My Esteemed Spouse drove up last night after he taught so we could go out to dinner. He's still suffering terribly from his head cold, and I'm trying very hard not to succumb to one of my own. Another night with lack of sleep and I'll be done in, for sure. I seldom get sick unless I'm stressed and/or exhausted, and when I'm both, I'm much more vulnerable.

The sunshine is deceptive this afternoon. The wind is blowing pretty steadily, and the temperatures have steadily decreased. Another night in that overheated apartment, and then it's home to the husband, for whatever dab of weekend we can scrape together.

We're talking about going to Missouri during Spring Break to help Daniel get a new (different) vehicle. That won't be nearly as much fun as going to Hawaii, as we did last year, but it must be done. Maybe I can drop by Mizzou to see some people. I'd thought about flying down to Louisiana to see Sylvia and maybe Mary, but I just don't really feel like coping with flying these days.

I'm feeling distracted (obviously) and wishing I were curled up in bed, sound asleep. Sigh.
