symbolic lag

Everything has been dragging lately. I’m one for results, but perhaps this is going to teach me some valuable lessons in patience and appreciation. Life has a way of placing challenges in front of a person. These barriers are usually beneficial roadblocks, temporary and annoying, but more of a means to educate rather than irritate.

I am waiting for an interview, and additional correspondence through a second vein come July. A lot rides on these two factors. I have quite a few obstacles to muddle through in my research. Approval will be required from an IRB, and that will take a detailed, convincing presentation of documents and a dose of luck.

Brain is suspended in gelatin today. Body feels like one big skein of jello. Facebook kept loading…loading…loading….without any outcome in either direction. Sometimes, clocks use up every bit of juice in their batteries, and the clock owner does not have the resources or spare moment to replace them.

So, things are at a standstill. The windmill has stopped churning. Increases and gains are small, but energy and anticipation remains high. Let me settle into contentment as I wait.There is no more ticking sound, but time continues to pass.
