Stuck in the mental goo. so much I could do....but I don't feel like doing any of it!

what is it about trips....the travel? the dislocation? Went on Saturday, back yesterday. Sitting here with a task list a mile long.

What do I really feel like doing? absolutely nothing (well, not nothing - but a leisurely crossword, or read a bit of the book I am working my way through, or just put on some music and lay back and ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

anyone else finding the approaching end of the summer doldrums?

to which some succumb when things need to be done!

What is worth it and what is not?

Rest when you can: deeply and profoundly.

It could be worse: I could still be a teacher.

Among the schools I work with, one has already started up and the other starts tomorrow.

Summers DONE if your a teacher or a student around here!

Where did summer go?

Oh... and as I predicted, temps are supposed to be in the upper 80s next week.... so we can all sweat and feel miserable. No AC in the schools.

and doing nothing is a choice. Just ask me -- I'm retired and I make that choice fairly regularly.
