January 29: Today's Work

[kinetic_elaboration]

I took a nap after work, which obviously delayed me in doing all of my post-work Tasks, but had it not been for that nap I probably couldn’t have gotten through them, so I think it was for the best. I’m exhausted now, though. My feet hurt; the rest of my body kind of hurts too, and I feel cold and tense. I am just becoming so tired.

I’m tired of the cold, not really outside, which isn’t too bad actually, but inside. The library felt so chilly today for some reason. I’m also getting very tired of the ice. The patches that are left, including the significant and possibly worsening patch on my road, are simply not going anywhere until the temps stay above freezing for more than an hour or two and we get some sun. At least some of the local schools have been out all week or doing remote learning, and while I don’t think the university should be closed, nor do I particularly want it to be, I can kinda understand. Where it’s still bad we’re just… waiting it out I guess! Bound to the elements.

At work I tried to go back to my big dummy block project, and while I did make progress, I just… feel like there’s so much left. And so many other things, and I just… feel so small in comparison to all that. I feel similarly at home. I did a massive amount of laundry (though not my sheets, unfortunately) and a few other things like packing and taking down (finally lol) my Christmas decorations. But again, there’s still so much.

I don’t have it anywhere near in me to be creative, though I miss writing, and I feel somewhat guilty for not keeping up with my daily word habit very well and with not carving out any time for editing/posting.

I did so much though. I’ve been doing so much.

I still have to shower, which on the one hand, will feel good, but on the other hand, is another task delaying sleep.
