I keep losing this task on my to-do list.
I'm fifty now. That should be a milestone of sorts, and I did encourage everyone around me to treat it that way, if only to get some attention. But I feel weary and have for years now. Turning fifty didn't change that. Sleep apnea, obesity, and diabetes did.
I really want to be able to have a clear thought again. Stepping down as department chair will help---it will certainly decrease the quantity of tasks. That'll be a first step.
