« exhaustion | home | 3 hours »

Friday, 22 April 05 :: exhausted, again.

yes, my mind was up late last night. a bit too late for my own hopes. long day yesterday. work, lunch bunch, meeting at calc, pete meeting, democratic party meeting. yes, my day really does start when i leave work, it really does. i go out into a world who's bank accounts i don't have to spend time fretting about, who's existance i don't worry about.. its not my problem -- its someone elses, i'll just help.

today, after a long, busy week, i'm going to cougar with a friend. *sigh* i cannot wait to slip my body into those healing waters. i'll close my eyes, think of things current, think of things past. yeah, i've had some good moments at that place. 4 o'clock today i plan to have my body there. my aching shoulder will be glad, maybe the hot springs will help, maybe they will give my aching shoulder a bit of much needed relief. more importantly though, maybe they will give my mind permission to turn off for a bit. no, no networking at cougar, no, no fretting about money and existance of non-profit organizations, no, no worrying about much of anything, except staying in the water too long.

whats on the agenda for tommorrow? i have my favourite 7 year old for 5 hours. yeah, we're making a cake for her mother p's birthday. her mother is probably my favourite 51 year old. its earth day as well, i need to help out with something there. and a seder tommorrow night. it'll be a nice day. and some how, some how i need to find something for p's day. i need to find something that isn't an object to fill her house with clutter, but is instead, a reflection of my affection for her, and her importance in my life in eugene and beyond eugene. yeah, dig - it, my kid will have an aunt p when s/he is born.

and sunday? i'm not sure what is happening sunday right now.. oh yeah, campaigning for aria, house party, sunday seder.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
