still groggy

If I had one of those little emotion readouts on this diary today, it would
definitely read "groggy". I'm not really terribly sore from yesterday, but both
body and mind are fatigued and neither is inclined to move quickly. I got plenty
of sleep (so I judge, because I set the alarm for 5:40 AM, turned off my light at
7 last night, and woke up every half hour or so from about 3:00 on) but sometimes
one single night's sleep isnŐt enough to restore the corpus from one of its more
corpselike states.

I can't believe I raced four times
yesterday. The two races in the eight were 2000 meters, too, instead of the 1000m
the smaller boats raced. Therefore, I raced a total of 6000 meters, twice as far
as Rudder rowed in three races. This has left me disinclined to move around much
or do any work today. Unfortunately, I doubt my supervisor, who's been working a
lot of weekends himself, would appreciate it much if I napped under my desk today.
Thank goodness we didn't have rowing practice today. My general state of fog has
also left me with no inclination or energy to deal with the squabble going on
among moderators of one of the email lists I own.

My old college
roommate is staying over tomorrow night, with a husband I haven't met before and
an even newer baby. I am very much looking forward to seeing her and her menfolk,
but not up for doing much to prepare for the visit. Thank goodness we restarted
the cleaning service. I'll probably drag myself into the supermarket after work,
and throw together a quick Cape Verde vegetable soup (courtesy of one of the
Moosewood cookbooks) tonight or tomorrow – if we decide to go for the ordeal of
dining-out-with-baby instead, we can always eat it another night. There are
definitely things I miss about unemployment, and time to cook and time to shop are
two of them. However, there's much to be said for interesting work and money to
shop with.
