pre-flight
As in, I am about to flee.
Hahaha! No, not really. Please ignore the nervous tic next to my right eye!
So I'm kind of a big stressball right now, and my mom's wedding plans are of course playing their part - although it's not the wedding that I'm focused on right now, but getting to it, because ticket prices rose in the couple of days between me quoting prices to her and she sending me money, and now. So I'm about two hundred dollars shy and not sure I can cover it, so unless we want to drive to Kansas City (about three hours away) for the cheaper fares, which may not make any sense at all given gas prices, I'm not sure how to handle this.
Plus work has been a bit of a chainsaw juggling act, and I've been feeling incompetent and lazy and stupid and all that good stuff.
Oh, and there's the chance I will be zipping off to Switzerland the day after I teach my first class, which is cool, except, three-day trip to Switzerland and do I know where my passport is? And, oh, yeah...fatigue. There's that, too. Teaching my second class while loopy with jetlag should be exciting! The students will be exposed to my international savoir faire, which will surely benefit them. Looks like the timing may be wrong on this for other reasons. I am mildly disappointed, but honestly, it would have been exhausting.
I hate the fact that 90% of my recent entries have involved my "flailing" tag. I need to do a couple of nice, peaceful book reviews or flailing about Leverage or something.
