Just feel like writing

One hour before the department weekly symposium.
And I suddenly just feel like writing.
Went home at 3:30 am, washed up and read a bit (eh research related, not TIME again) and went to bed at 5:00 am.
My alarm clock went off at 8 am as I have to meet my hardware project supervisor at 9:45.
But then I figured I'd just sleep for a few more minutes.
So I reset the time to 8:25.
And then I fell asleep again.
And I dreamed.
I dreamed I was at my office, frenetically writing up programs and submitting GRID jobs.
And somehow I felt that I had to got all the jobs submitted by 8:25.
And at about 8:20 sth. I realized a huge mistake in my programs.
And I was trying to correct them up like crazy.
And then my alarm clock went off.
And it took me a few seconds to come to that no, I was not at my office yet: I was still in bed.
Got up and quickly shower, facial, make-up.
Put on my vintage Ungaro silk dress. It's a beautiful dress, pink rose petals scattered on dark silk, draping in front and zipper detail at the sleeve cuffs, impeccable material and details.
And I stormed out the door.
Got to my office at 9:52.
Email from my supervisor, "where are you?"
- -//
Met with her and another post-doc I've been working with at CERN.
Meeting lasted till 10:30.
Went directly to an Associate Memory mini-Workshop.
Workshop lasted till 1pm with no stop.
At one point in the middle I felt like I was about to pass out.
Not sure why, just a funny feeling in my chest and not getting enough air.
Lucky me my phone rang so I had the perfect reason to step outside to answer it.
And to get air.
And it was the salon calling me to confirm my haircut reservation for tomorrow.
Still something to look forward to.
Got back, had lunch and some random web browsing, took a half hour nap at my desk.
Before I was writing up this post I was trying to read over my notes for my particle physics class.
And then symposium.
And then a bit more studying?
We have the department's monthly "Women for Physics" dinner tonight.
Again sth. else to look forward to.
Life is good.
Each time I see my lovely lovely lovely advisor I can feel how lucky I am.
Gotta work hard and keep working.

God bless all.
