Today's list of things to do is not extensive (I am slow, but my body told me very clearly the last few days that the dental visit was the last straw and that I should simply not do everything I want to do and think I ought to do) but it's all the scary stuff. Things I want to happen and need to make happen but am really shy about.
I do a respectable job at hiding my shyness these days, but it's there and it makes me slow at approaching some things. What this means is that I shall feel a huge welling of relief from somewhere deep inside when today's tasks are finished.
I think I chose today to face the impossible (but not big) things because it's Latin today. I'm teaching Latin because I can and there was a need for it, but also because I start telling myself "You can't do this as well as you should." The easiest way of facing that particular inner evil is to teach. Despite the mantra "Those who can't do, teach" it's almost impossible to teach a subject without a good understanding of it.
Not a lot of hours in my day, then, but I am facing some curious challenges.
