Harrumph!

It is a lovely day outside and I think I would much rather go for a walk to the reservoir than have to sit inside reading about French social reform in 1814.

Maybe I'll be able to fit in a half hour stroll after I've eaten my lunch...

All things considered, though, I seem to finally be creating some balance in my new schedule - this week I don't feel like I'm rushing everything quite so much as I have before. I hope that things might continue in this vein but there are a lot of assignments to be done by January, so maybe that hope is too much? At least now I feel like I have an outside chance of getting it all done on time - and that is an important difference :0)
