Procrastinating

Today is Friday, which means several things. 1) It's Friday. 2) No school for the next two days. 3) I am now totally overloaded with work because I was a total shit show all of last week. 4) While I now have 2.5 days to accomplish everything I need to, I will begin all of them Sunday night at 6pm and declare that I am exhausted and overwhelmed. I will take multiple naps all weekend long. And a couple hot baths.

Immediately after being released back to running with a freshly healed hamstring, I came down with what was probably the flu. Apparently you do not generally become delirious during a cold. I have also developed an obnoxious cough that has left my ribs feeling bruised and my stomach muscles forming a more washboard pattern...except they feel like they've been raked over a washboard.

I considered the issue of needing to rest while simultaneously upping my mileage for the Boston Marathon. It is amazing what you can do after overloading your body with tylenol, sudafed, mucinex, albuterol and coffee.

On Wednesday I had to report back to my physical therapist. She was concerned to find that I had no voice. While I croaked out my report of my doctor clearing me to run, my runs during the week, and any remaining issues (snapping turtle, Fred....oh crap. Forgot to tell her it has a name. Anyway...) she listened intently. As I told her about my 5 miler, she broke in "Hopefully before you got sick"....

"Um, well...no...during..."

She made a face.

"What am I supposed to do?!" I asked, feeling utterly helpless. Just last week she had sternly told me I needed to get my mileage up.

She laughed. I was in for some deep tissue massage.

So all week I have struggled not to die, gone to classes and done a few runs. No where in there did I find the motivation to study. Ugh.

Today I've been feeling a little better and decided to catch up on a lot of things. After class I went and made another therapy appointment, paid my fees from the last two, went and got stamps (that's been on my list for about 3 weeks now), came home and had a snack, and went for a run.

Apparently that was about all I had in me. I took a hot bath and a nap, managed to crank out a math quiz, then opened my binder to take inventory of what was left to do. Dear god.

A jumbled weather map sits on top and I am supposed to trace the frontal boundaries of air masses. Meerr, what else is there?

Ooh, here we go...chapters 8 and 9 questions. Well since I've read neither chapter....what else?

My research paper. Ha!

Study for the math exam that is going to be two days after returning from Boston. Oh man....

Do your math homework.

You could have a load of laundry going while doing one of these things.... Son of a gun. Isn't there something I should be looking at on Pinterest?

Pretty sure I need to eat again....and do the dishes...and clean my room. This is going nowhere fast. I'm going to eat and decide from there.
