Mental Block

There was a weekend in there somewhere. A weekend with lots of errand running (none of it mine, but someone has a need to be accompanied), lawn work (which I still can't seem to complete without physical exhaustion) and getting ready for the week in school. Still shirking entering test/quiz grades, but everything else is in there. Maybe I will get caught up this week, with TCAP beginning today, following a wasteful day yesterday. Why have a "pep" rally for a test? It is just an excuse to get the kids riled up.

Also my morning routine has been slightly upset with a request for help on a project of the wife's. She is working on a knitting book, and for the past 2 months has asked me to write some of the instructions. I don't know how to knit, but have discovered that my math brain translates the patterns quite well, and I can do them rather quickly. The catch is, she never gave me any patterns until Saturday, then Monday asked me how many I had done. So I spent yesterday morning slogging through a few more, out of both guilt and a sense of responsibility, even though I recognize it is not really MY problem.

Today's goal - clear out a few lingering, easily and quickly done little things - like mailing in a couple of forms, calling my dad and granddad.
