I am awake w/o sleep hours before we’re supposed to drive back with only two days rest until classes resume. Of course, I’m not going to get two days rest, because there is the requisite time to unpack, get resettled, tend to lapsed tasks, and of course, make a decent grocery run since we intentionally left the fridge/freezer bare by using up all perishables. I’m not sleeping not because I’m anxious or whatever (which I usually am, just as a matter of course) but because my GI system is giving me so much cramping, pressure, and bloating. I’ve taken enough simethicone to flatten a keg of cheap beer but it seems to have had minimal effect on me.

Anyway, I hope to be back online Saturday evening. See y’all then.

UPDATE: Sun, 23 Apr:

Ok, back in GDL now as of last night, but man am I tired. I need to sleep more today in prep for classes resuming tomorrow. Until I finish up my post drafts, my advice is this: don’t ever travel across the country (much less in a different country) with a cat. That is all for now.
