A Day Off; Decidedly Off

hrj One of the podcast interviews I've been working on scheduling looked like we were pinning it down for next Saturday, and then there was a crossed communication and yesterday I got an email confirming for this morning. Not wanting the opportunity to slip away, I went ahead and confirmed then stayed up late making sure I had good questions set up. A couple more emails on scheduling came in in the middle of the night (silly international time zones) but we decided to go ahead and make contact this morning and then probably do the actual recording next week to give me time to read the book first. (It's rather awkward to explain to an interviewee that you often don't read your guests' books before the interview. We ended up recording half the show this morning. Usually I do one show focusing on the author's own work, then a shorter one where they talk about books they've enjoyed reading. But this time I wanted to grab the opportunity of having an actual historian on the show to talk about her research and how it ties in to the LHMP themes in general. So we did that part today.
I started a batch of bread and then decided I needed a long break from being productive. So I grabbed some junk food and binged the rest of the first season of the Victoria series. Nearly nodded off a few times in the middle, not because of the show (which is lovely) but because I'm chronically under-slept. I now have a splitting headache, but I suspect it may be caffeine deprivation because I often switch to decaf on weekends. (Doesn't make that much difference in the current regime, but it's a habit.)
Now the bread's about to go in the oven and I'm back to feeling like I should be productive. So I guess it will be more Jane Austen marathon and data entry. This is the first day of ShIP when I've really been overcome by malaise. I want my hanging out in a coffee shop, not having to interact with people, just being *around* people.
