I really have to fight with myself to keep working on Mondays. After coming back from data collection I'm usually emotionally spent and I feel like "Well I've accomplished a lot. Today is over." But the day is not over. It's the middle of the afternoon and I have more to do.

Today was particularly hard because there was some violence at our site today, fortunately not directed at us...but still...not good. So grad student and I were dismissed so they could work on getting people under control. Grad student and I went to Target together to pick up a few things for the lab and then we went our separate ways. Let me tell you folks...I really want to keep right on going my separate way right into bed and an afternoon nap.

But.

That seems a little too indulgent. Especially given what I have on my to do list before LMRU friends come to town later this week.

Oy.

Okay. Off to work. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
