Back in March I had to take over at short notice in chairing a conference. Then two more months of chairing the big university committee and trying to plan for chairing an association. It's been a bit stressful and mind-numbing.
So what should I expect of myself when my mind is numbed? I feel guilty for not doing more but it is part of the same rhythm I've experienced for nearly three decades. After commencement my adrenal glands go on hiatus.
I should try to make sure that I do things that make me feel good about myself and stop self-flagellating.
