A student told me today that I'm the perkiest, most energetic pregnant woman she's ever seen. I suppose I've got more energy in me than many other pregnant women. That kind of disappears once I get home, though. I'm a lazy slug at home, and when I get to school and work I expend my energy.

I spent a good deal of today on my feet and walking places. I walked up and down the hall, walked to Dunkin Donuts (*guilty*), walked up three flights of stairs, walked to various buildings. I am still waiting on this kid to get here. I have an OB/GYN appointment tomorrow morning and they better tell me I've gotten farther than 2.

To be honest, I'm surprised I'm not half dead with exhaustion given how early I was up this morning, but that's me - I'm go go go! until I don't have to be that way anymore. I attribute a lot of it to teaching. When I teach, I forget about everything that's wrong with me. If I'm sick, I feel better. If I'm tired, I get energized. If I'm in a bad mood, it goes away. If I'm tired of being fat, pregnant, and ungainly, all that disappears.

On the docket for this month is getting this kid born, keeping up with my schoolwork, finishing the freaking Weber concerto, the Bartok suite, and the Debussy Estampes, and trying not to go nuts while at it. Sadly, the level of rep that I'm playing right now is nowhere near graduate level. I need to kick myself in the ass and get motivated! NO MORE LOAFING!

No one better tell me that going to grad school full-time, being over 39 weeks pregnant, working a few jobs, and getting practice in doesn't count as loafing. As far as I'm concerned, I'm being lazy by not practicing.
