End of (Another) Semester

As I write this I am proctoring my third and last final exam.  I have graded the first and second final exams and computed the term grades for the first class.  The second one has a make-up exam today and I prefer to do all the grades at once for consistency's sake.

After compute the grades I will be done with this semester's classes.  Before I start working on my Spring semester classes I will want to prepare my talk for the Joint Mathematics Meetings in January and get all the details of that trip worked out.

I am mentally and physically worn thin as is common for me at this point in the school year.  I did sing in a concert last Tuesday and attended another concert last night, so music has been uplifting even as sleep has been elusive.  As always I would like to recharge my batteries before visiting family for the holidays;  maybe I can do better this year.  We'll see.

I've plateau-ed on the weight loss as my mental resources have diminished.  It takes effort for me to lose weight and I would like to put forth that effort again.  Success leads to success, so if I can't get off this plateau and start lowering my weight again that will support continuing to do so.
