Stress... it happens

so really... all and all... i have been doing pretty well with how much i have decided to heap onto my plate. but today- it has been a bit of a rough day. but that is what friends are for... i just got a pep talk from kate, my former roomy, labmate and friend. she assured me that i CAN finish and that i WILL finish. sometimes you need to have someone pump you up.

since today... i needed it. i am still fighting off this cold which is obnoxious and has not gone away. so, i felt like crap on the bike today and called it quits after less than and hour of riding. i crawled home, showered and took a nap. i need to save any energy i can for my thesis work. i have a lot to do today and tomorrow... i have a deadline tomorrow evening to get some stuff to my committee. i am waiting for an analysis to run right now, so i am writing quickly. so, trying to take care of myself AND get a ton of work done (which are typically mutually exclusive acts). so, we will see how it goes. in the mean time, the rope is not broken yet.
