Man, I feel like I have several posts I could make - writing goals/plans, books I intend to read, the weirdass dreams I had last night (pelicans! cooking! futuristic hot food vending machines! bizarre estate sales full of ahistorical merch!), something about A Taste of Gold and Iron - but I am Very Sleepy.
Work was fine. It felt hectic all day, even though it shouldn't have: we had a short class, but not a lot of students. The new support is at the roughest part of being trained... he knows too much for me to do stuff and have him follow along, and hovering while he does stuff is going to frustrate him, but he still struggles in sometimes unexpected ways so he can't just be given stuff to do on his own, either. He WILL be on his own tomorrow, so hopefully it goes well.
It's a little... validating, I guess, to see someone looking at a fairly average day's workload and saying "wow, that's a lot to keep track of." I feel like there IS a lot that I do, and I like being good at it, yet a lot of people who don't do my job don't seem to think that there's any effort involved.
We are not going out tonight. Alex's back is bothering him, and mine is better than it has been but still isn't great. Hopefully next week. :/
I've had quite a few really lazy nights in a row (at least partially due to being in more than ordinary levels of pain, but still!) Tonight is not the night I break the streak, I'm afraid.

A reminder I have to tell myself often: rest is productive too. It's frustrating when you can't make the progress you want to see in a day, but without taking time to heal, you halt your progress for longer. So let yourself rest and trust your future self to pick up the projects you need to put down now.
