Waking Up on Hump Day Praying It Won't Be Grump Day, Because Crandall's Mind is Stumped ,Yay! And the Week Just Needs to End

Home at 9, up at 7 to be back on campus by 9, and lots of work in-between. Don't know if I'm coming or going, what's up and what's down, but it needs to go on. I missed lunch yesterday and got dinner at 9:30 pm. Happy Happy, Joy Joy.

A 14-hour day today and then a lil' respite on Thursday, although I'm booked with back-to-back meetings.

I just want this week over already, so I can get some rest. The dental days have caught up and I need sleep (or at least to be able to get ahead of the game instead of going live with it). 

Not a lot of time to publish a post, but I have to hit the road. It is what it is, and tomorrow is another day. 

Gosh, I hope it gets better. Oh, and we ran THE WRITE TIME with Nikki Grimes live last night. Here's from an opening prompt, walking in the woods.

I am always one step behind the leaps in my head,

 walking in the what ifs, the coulds,

the should-ofs, these woods 

splattered with possibilities, promises, and unwritten poems 

step by step, a manic mind roams,

and I realize I’m simply a leaf

veined & compital in all my beliefs --- 

that such wandering will land on wondering 

the sky, the sun, and the everchanging air, 

Today, I meander aimlessly, simply because I care. 

I am always one step behind the leaps in my head, 

but for this moment I’m walking with Nikki Grimes, instead.
