in the name of progression

Came as a huge surprise to me that I couldn’t sleep again last night. Albeit, I napped most of the afternoon yesterday, while fading in and out of watching the Red Sox get slaughtered (sorry, New England friends). I wound up getting to sleep around 3:30 in the morning, I think and woke up somewhere between 5:00 and 5:30 am. I tried to get back to sleep for a long time to no avail, obviously.

I felt really calm for the first time in a few weeks - focused enough to sit and go through thoughts and put my thoughts onto paper in lists so that I can…well…begin progress on a few things and be able to track it, they’re fairly vague (and illegible - but uh, they say geniuses have trouble having discernable and decipherable handwriting…I’ll selfishly fall back on that excuse - they were also taken with a camera phone under poor lighting). It felt like a good thing to do, it still feels good.



























I heard someone who had written a book about life management, which is not something I really have a hard time with, I break things up into manageable amounts and well that’s neither here nor there, the point it he was saying that if you make a manageable list of things you need to do today and communicate that with another person you heighten your chances of actually getting those things done. I think the key part of that is having a realistic sized list…just in case that helps anyone out. So here are my lists.

left: degree requirements by term starting last summer ending next summer.
right: main monthly goals may through december (it mostly says, “school” & “chemo” - december says “life resumes” and it actually felt geniunely nice when I wrote that.

And on that note, back to try and take another early afternoon nap. Chemo tomorrow…will have plenty to post about that once I recover from it I’m sure.
