Things this week which I’ve been doing instead of writing to you:
- Moving everything in our lab about 45 feet to the south.
- Getting the horribly cracked windscreen on my car replaced
- Searching for (and finding, thank god) accommodation for next year
- Starting my very delayed, and three week long, PhD A exam.
- Trying to get American Express to give me an extended warranty , so that I can get my freshly dead laptop battery replaced for less than $80.
TOO MUCH STUFF! Both the blogging and >100bpm exercising have suffered due to all those aboves. It’s not good. It’s so easy to give up on stuff like that when you are stressed out. The most challenging free-time activities are the ones which are first in the line of sacrifice. When you are extra busy all day it is easier to not go to the gym than to not spend an hour watching Netflix.
But it is most important to exercise when you least feel like doing it.
Oh crap, I have to run back to lab (yeah, it’s midnight) and shut everything down nicely before the building power beats me to it.
