Too much to do, not enough to do...

glowingfishI was tired today. It is dark and cold. I want to stay in bed under a pile of blankets.
But I have class. I like teaching. Just some days I wish I could have ten more minutes before work.
Having to be somewhere at a specific time, when I really wish I could make another cup of tea, is the only part of my job that I don't like.
Second class was 4-5 PM. My student was a no-show. And then, after it is over, I have seven more hours until midnight. So much free time to enjoy! I can at the very least do some light reading. Work on a project. Read and answer some emails! And yet it just seems like a gulf. I am antsy, but also exhausted.
But now it is 10 PM. I managed to actually do some of that light reading. Now, another hour or two until theoretical bedtime. I guess this is okay. I can't exactly vibe or get into creative work, but I don't feel terrible, for right now.
