inconvienent timing
Jan. 23rd, 2018 09:40 pmYesterday my digestive tract wasn't 100% happy with me, but it was ignore-able, and I managed to finish my meetings without an issue (though it did contribute to my eagerness to head back to the apartment), and I was very happy to go to bed before 22:00. I woke up at 03:00, inspired to work, compiling data from a museum database into a spreadsheet that I can sort or filter by time period, type of object, location, etc., and managed to get all 330 entries into the sheet in about two hours, after which I went back to sleep for a few more hours.
I woke up inspired to work more, and ate breakfast, but as the morning progressed I started feeling worse. Finally, but 11:00, I realized that my digestion issue meant that I was in no shape to do the 30 minute walk over to St. Mary's nor to meet their vice-principal for lunch, which I was in no shape to be eating, anyway. So I emailed them an apology for canceling due to illness on short notice, and went to sleep for another couple of hours. When I woke up I had, just, enough energy to finish reading a book I had first checked out through inter-library loan, but had to return before flying south, with 1.5 chapters to go, and then borrowed my advisor's copy yesterday. By then I had recovered enough to face walking to the neighbourhood store and buying what I needed to make a small pot of simple soup (canned tomato, corn, frozen spinach, home made egg noodles, butter, and a bit of pepper). I had one half bowl of soup as soon as it was done, and then, when A & G got home I had another 1/4 bowl with them, followed by a carrot with peanut butter--the fact that I was interested in food again seemed like a very good sign.
However, I haven't accomplished much more work tonight, I instead read much of their copy of Lives of Extraordinary Women: Rulers, Rebels (and What the Neighbors Thought). It is now nearly 22:00 (Gewen and I did yoga before her bedtime), and I think I will get to sleep, and hope that I can make it to St. Mary's tomorrow, to take care of the last step of my enrollment (showing them my passport in person). I also have a fair few other things I would like to accomplish before my meeting with my advisors on Thursday.
