So I thought that it might be fun to post before this two-day vacation a laundry list of things I want to get done/enjoy before I go back to work on Thursday:

laundry (heh)

kendo

sitting in the park

my full core conditioning routine

abwork without planks (to spare my elbows)

finish cleaning house (bedroom, kitchen, fridge)

drink

catch up on readings

turn in this proposal

TeX some project notes

design my swansong project

We’ll see how I do on the other end.

So it’s been a very lazy weekend in terms of any of the work I should actually be working on myself, wandering around Astoria and Sunnyside looking at apartments and making such plottings amid some other movies at the expense of kendo, unfortunately. At least the apartment is clean, if somewhat strongarmedly.

So three pilsners (urquell if lukewarm) with Rob are just about enough to cure what it was that was ailing me. Which is not to say that I wasn’t a little moonish earlier, but after a late-night session discussing crossword puzzles for mathematics learning with graduate students, a little levity is quite overdue.

Pendant lamps, meanwhile, are quite overdue to alleviate Mark’s persistent complaints re: the want of a overhead lighting in my apartment’s living room. That and a recentering of the new TV. Meanwhile, the flypapers have yet to fully exterminate the gnats.

I should really do better to reread Monkey or rather Journey to the West, Waley notwithstanding.

It remains to be seen if I can meet Rob for a paella lunch tomorrow.

So spring break is over but I’m happy with the progress I’ve made on my floors and such

The long roadtrip with Mark upstate was a smashing good time, I’m just sad and unable to sleep still because it and all of braek is all over, but I suppose there are plenty more good days to come.

The only question is how to account for the date number when it’s a 72+ hour thing. I guess there are worse dilemmas for a math teacher…
