Buckle down and accomplish something

I don’t know if I work bet­ter under pres­sure, but I cer­tainly get more done under pres­sure.? With the hol­i­days loom­ing on the hori­zon, the bead show this week­end, fam­ily and friends com­ing next week for Thanks­giv­ing din­ner, and the end of the semes­ter around the cor­ner, I have a lot on my agenda.

In the past cou­ple of days I have done much of the plan­ning for the show as well as get­ting stuff together for it.? The bed ris­ers and new light­ing are in my stu­dio wait­ing to be packed into the car Fri­day night.? I have put a large dent in the grad­ing back­log, par­tic­u­larly for my intro­duc­tory class, and the pile is back down to a some­what man­age­able size now (at least until next week’s test). I keep see­ing and tak­ing care of lit­tle bits here and there around the house in prepa­ra­tion for a big­ger clean­ing early next week.? Today at work, I defrag­mented the hard drive on my work com­puter and installed Ubuntu Linux to make it a dual-​boot sys­tem (com­pletely against our IT rules, of course, but with absolutely no issues) so that I can be hap­pier with my com­puter use there.

I feel like there’s still an insane amount to do right away but it doesn’t feel quite so over­whelm­ing now that I am get­ting a few things dealt with.? Deep breath, let it out slowly, decide on the next thing to tackle!
