If It's After Easter Why Do I Feel So Dead?

I made it through the five Triduum services with my voice intact;  I can tell that there is a real difference now that I've been singing MWF with my university's singing group.  Physically I'm exhausted though.

April is always rough on the system.  The cumulative stress and the lack of sleep all hit hard.  I've got a concert this week with two evening dress rehearsals, so my evenings are committed.  Both of our kids have been spending a lot of time with me asking questions about their math homework.  Not a whole lot of downtime.

But the downtime is coming;  only a few more weeks of classes.

Running Low

This time of year has me grading lots of student work and preparing for Easter music.  On top of that I have several concerts with my university singing group.  I'm definitely low on energy.  It hasn't affected my work so much as my mood;  I'm not so much depressed as low on hope I guess, despite knowing from the calendar that these responsibilities will ease soon.

Race to the Finish

Spring Break is over;  six weeks of classes left.  Dozens of ad hoc meeting ahead, too little time to think.  Need to rely upon my organizational skills to get me through.

I do feel as if I am better organized this year.
