You know it's been a long week when the new roll of toilet paper doesn't even make it on the holder. It sits there on the top of the empty one, ever ready to grab but not in its proper place. It might sound inappropriate, but this is how my life has felt the past couple of weeks -- not fully in place and slowly being depleted... and yes I just compared myself to toilet paper. 

Life keeps speeding up, rolling on by.  I rip off way more than I need. In the past two weeks my days have been catalogued by workshops, conferences, students, events, friends and being sick. It's enough to make me feel like putting that roll of TP on the holder really is time and effort I don't have.
