Stomach feeling queasy this morning. Probably stress-related. Trying to relax.

Not eager to go to the gym after work. Also left my workout shoes at home. Trying to decide if physical benefit of workout = or > discomfort of inadequate shoes (or just socks?) and possible stomach blah.

In other, happier news, Nightwish's "Dark Passion Play" is very good.

You may think the fact that you're preparing for the departmental graduation ceremony tomorrow along with the rest of the staff, plus preparing for a conference, which requires preparing for a trip to Cincinnati, is good reason to freak out. But remember that, this time last year, you were preparing your own graduation ceremony nearly by yourself, plus preparing for finals, plus preparing for a trip to Europe. And if you didn't die then, you certainly won't die now.

When you get an increase in income (either the automatic pay raise, or a new and higher-paying job, both of which would happen this summer), use the extra money to set up some regular donating. Either an annual payment, or maybe a regular deduction from your paycheck if that's doable. If you're doing well right now at your current salary, any raise you receive does not necessarily need to stay with you.

You've bought enough CDs for now. Wait until the new ones arrive before ordering more.
