Today I accomplished:
Snack run for trip
Responded to student emails
Responded to Discussion threads/facilitated discussion
Graded a portion of student papers and got feedback reports prepared for those students
Organized most of what I need to pack into a laundry basket so I can pack it tomorrow
Did a load of laundry
Put two loads of laundry away
Had a lovely candelit dinner on the porch with Bun
Fed the animals
Things I did not accomplish
Finish grading papers
Put grades for MVC students in Ecampus
Pack bag for weekend
Grill chicken for quick snacks this weekend (I need to keep a cooler in my tent with snackies for late night/.early morning munch)
Make playlists for workshops
Make notes for workshops
Sort images for Boss (though I can do some of this on the train in the AM)
Clean litterboxes
Clean kitchen
Some of these things, Bun will do tomorrow or while I am away. I have been trying to not leave her with a messy house and a huge task list while I am gone, so that she can also get some quality downtime and not spend the whole time either cleaning or fretting about a messy house. If only I didn't have to go to my jobs tomorrow! But The Boss is pissy about me missing Friday to be out of town, so I need not only to go in tomorrow, but to be relatively brilliant and hardworking. At the same time, I know I can knock some of my UoP work out over my lunch break, and possibly in the late afternoon. If I ask Bun, she will grill the chicken for me and perhaps finish the laundry and do the litterboxes.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day and a late night. Fortunately, there is a much-needed break at the end of it, and I will appreciate it all the more for the craziness leading up to it. How is it that no matter how hard I try, I'm always rushing at the last minute the night before a trip?

I lost most of my day today. Bun spent about 8 hours in the ER yesterday with shortness of breath. All those hours and $480 later and they tell us the tests show nothing, it's probably just seasonal allergies gone a little wild. Then two dehydrated, exhausted, hungry, stressed girls get into the car to drive home and you can imagine how that ended up. Lots of tears and late night talking things over, and a sleepy pair of girls this morning. We got up and went and got some lunch then came home to nap. Bun's supposed to be taking it easy for a few days -- they took so much blood she doesn't have a choice, really -- but I have no excuse except physical and emotional exhaustion. So I'm already behind the 8 ball on everything I've got to accomplish, which is not really helping my stress levels. I'm going to put up my to-dos for the next week, and I'm going to organize them into categories to see if that makes me a bit saner.
This coming week is likely the last big push on the job search, or at least the academic portion of it, so that should at least keep me a bit saner in the coming month. The fact that March is likely to be a tight money month (with no UoP check) is something I'm not really thinking about right now.

Show opens tonight. I need to be on campus by 5 to eat dinner (provided by WIN, yeah!), get dressed, and be ready to be on stage at 7.
I also need to pick up at least one silent auction donation, complete the silent auction donation I'm making of Dreaming Priestess product, print out certificates from another generous sponsor. Which means I need to be on campus at more like 430.
I also need to finish grading and getting grades up for UoP, and my online classroom is being bitchy.
I need to work out for 30 minutes, at least.
The dryer guy is coming to such the birds nest out of the vent today, and one of us should be here for that to wrangle the kittehs.
I also need to shower, figure out my hair for the show, go to the post office....
