As your life speeds up, mine takes a breath. I am on short term disability until the baby arrives. I expect to spend about the next 90 days not working.
Wow, that is a packed schedule! Teaching two and a half credits on top of a large Scheme class, sitting in on a philosophy course, supervising an independent study, and keeping up with extracurriculars—no wonder you’re feeling stretched thin. Even when the extra workload is something you chose, it can still snowball fast.
It’s good that you’re aware of how overextended things feel, and even better that there’s a clear endpoint in sight. Six weeks may feel long, but at least you won’t have to keep this pace indefinitely. I hope you’re able to carve out small pockets of rest (or at least a moment to breathe) along the way. And if you can fit in that stitch-n-bitch for some real social downtime, even better—it sounds like you’ve earned it.
Hang in there. You’re doing a lot, and it’s okay to admit it’s exhausting. One week at a time—you’ll get through this stretch. - https://www.interiorpaintingphiladelphiapa.com
