I have so many service and teaching obligations today that I will have to cross the campus running (and carrying a big box) to make it everywhere I need to be on campus in time.

Since I run with the grace of a wounded rhinoceros, that will be quite a sight to see.

I have prepared well for the process of recovering from these insanely busy three days I’ve had this week. After I come home today, I will spend the night taking a bath, using my favorite facial mask and body treatment, and reading very trashy mystery novels I’ve been saving for a moment like this. N has promised to bring Indian food to support me emotionally and gastronomically. After that, I’m planning to watch a couple of my favorite silly Russian TV shows.

One of the most crucial elements of psychological hygiene is making sure that you plan a recovery and relaxation period after every busy stretch.

Take care of yourselves, people!
