I’m sleepy as hell, y’all so this will be quick. I’m already having some thoughts about my reading lists and I only have one more week to tidy up my university class, so I’ve been doing a lot of teachering in small, unimpressive bits. I’m also starting to get a little anxious about all that is due in the next two weeks. I will need to figure out a way to report here, briefly, lest I add to my end-of-January misery (which is a real thing, as is my “middle of February misery” having nothing whatsoever to do with V-day, which we don’t even celebrate around here, much to my sweet-tooth’s dismay, but which is triggered by the end of one class and ramp up of the other).

I want this January to be better, and that’s what this is supposed to help with. I’m starting to wonder if it can, though–but maybe that is my staunchly self-defeatist inner worry talking? I’m not behind yet.

All that to say: I’m going to try to get Muzzled started (True Story #3) before I am out like a light.
