Tuesday blues
Tuesday are my hardest day. Kate leaves around 4am and I wake up alone, knowing that for the next 3 days I'm essentially single. While in some ways I love the freedom to do what I want, when I want, and to not worry about anything but making sure the dog is okay, I find it hard to transition into that mentality. So I wake up on Tuesdays, and struggle to get out of bed. I struggle to find the motivation to do much of anything for awhile. I also don't teach or have any formal obligations on this day so that makes it harder too.
This morning I woke up at 7 and was awake enough to contemplate going to the gym. But then couldn't get out of bed. I want to go to the gym, but I really am struggling to get there. So I stayed in bed... until 9:30. Then, I finally rolled out of bed, got dressed, took care of Ru, and headed out to run errands and go to work. I don't want to be here though... I'm only here because I have an appointment with my TA to check in the data collection I have him working on. I also have a phone conference later today to talk about one of my papers with two colleagues. But I don't really... care. I honestly would love to just go sit in a coffee shop for hours and grade (which I have tons to do). Or read... or just ... something.
Tuesdays are hard. I guess that is really all there is to it.
