It feels good to have much to do, but it&#8217;s also overwhelming at times.  Especially when we have major systems fail, as we did the first day of classes (ugh).  Fortunately, I&#8217;m learning better how to troubleshoot problems with my IT team, and am becoming a better administrator:<\/p>\n<p>[blackbirdpie id=&#8221;32138156635594753&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>And to combat stress, I&#8217;m exercising everyday, including some paddling on the weekend with my team (Go Imua!).\u00a0\u00a0 I also did some impressive weightlifting with friends on Monday and my regular rock climbing stint on Wednesday:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/janaremy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-shot-2011-02-03-at-11.15.39-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2536\" style=\"border: 5px solid black;\" title=\"Screen shot 2011-02-03 at 11.15.39 AM\" src=\"http:\/\/janaremy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-shot-2011-02-03-at-11.15.39-AM-241x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With some of the residual stress from Toby&#8217;s death, I haven&#8217;t been terribly productive on my dissertation this week.

I&#8217;m finding that it&#8217;s important for me to make plans to look forward to&#8211;especially as those seed catalogs come in the mail and I remember (again and again) that I don&#8217;t have a garden to prep this spring, nor do I have my wee kitten to cozy up with in my big purple chair.  In the past, the garden was what helped me keep death in perspective.  When Paul, Sara, Linda, grandma, and Madge died&#8211;that garden kept me whole.
