MOAR TRAPPING
My gosh, you guys, that's like all I do these days. I realized, while looking at the big dry-erase calendars on the refrigerator that I spent 14 days in April the either started or ended in a hotel or barracks bed. While looking at my schedule for May, it will be 15. That's almost half the month in both cases. As soon as I get home and get halfway caught up, it's time to go again. This is unsustainable, I know this already, but I've scheduled through the start of June with trapping, netting, and a hunt on Memorial Day weekend.
After that add in ASL II class (which is only one night a week) and Chris R (we are now calling him "Vulgar", it's part of our Steam based gaming tags see? I'm "Ruthless") finally FINALLY returning from Chicago, plus some real basic things such as laundry and errands...
Well, I pre-ordered Portal 2 months ago. I was in a hotel room the night of release and I haven't had a chance to play it AT ALL NOT EVEN ONCE since.
So I'm planning a little mini vacation in June. Just to, y'know, NOT BURN OUT. (Though I hear it's better than fading away.)
A big part of this has been that the field work deadline is now in sight and I know exactly how many more samples we need from each location and I also know that our success is entirely up to the critters we catch. Our success in the next two weeks will give me a better idea of how intensively future trapping sessions will need to be scheduled simply by way of either completing or not completing two trouble sites in May.
And so, I am off again, this time to San Luis Obispo, which is a city that apparently does not show up in Firefox's spell check. Now it does.
When I get back I'll have a weekend in which to work on a project for ASL and then off to Hollister again (ALSO not in the dictionary. Yeeesh.) and then again the next week, and then a week to 'catch up' -- though if it's anything like this week it will mean trying and failing to establish a firm line between work and NOT-work -- and then Camp Roberts.
And then it's June.
I'm sure I misplaced March around here somewhere...
