Feb. 9th, 2016 11:40 amI don't feel at all well, la de da de dah. Yesterday it was a headache and sinus weirdness that never quite turned into full blown congestion but sure felt like it was going to, today the room is spinning hard whenever I stand up. Yes, I'm still going in to work, I need to get to the bank today and I'm already annoyed at missing work with snow and the last cold I had. Besides, it's slow enough today that it might not matter too much.
Yes, I'm going to attempt to do exercises today what do you take me for, a smart person?
(Sort of smart, it's mostly doing floor exercises and weights while sitting until I can stop listing when I stand. A compromise between my Tauron stubbornness and my acquired good sense.)
Despite the dizzy, today feels far more manageable than yesterday. I'm not sure why, it just does. I'm working on my witchy things for which I have apparently become Mark Watney (I'm sciencing the shit out of the grimoire challenges!) and I'm going to try to get these Wordpress security letters read and the WWI lectures done. And that in addition to writing, editing, and so on.
I did have a moment with the WWI lectures because the class opens up with "and what were your grandparents/great-grandparents doing in WWI I'm sure you have some family history" and all I could think is Well. Once side of my family was a violent drug addict/dealer who I haven't had contact with since I was three, the other side of my family mostly stops at great-grandparents fleeing the pogroms, so. No? I highly doubt it was maliciously intended, just the intersection of not quite realizing how widespread MOOCs are and not being able to step out of his own experience as normative. But it still hurt to think how much history I don't have.
The rest of the class is fun though. And highly informative it looks like. And at some point I really need to go through and start filing a lot of these notes I'm taking from various places in notebooks. But I'm getting through everything fairly briskly.
