- i woke up and thought about mathematics, right away, in hopes that the morning wouldn't slip away. (i would be teaching in the afternoon.)
- as the coffee was brewing, i was brushing my teeth and thinking about mοdulus of curve families again.
- to get to campus, i skipped the bus and walked.
- this takes longer, of course, but i seem unable to think about research when waiting at the bus stop. walking, however, gives me no such constraint. along the way today, i managed to convince myself of some doubts i had.
- instead of a shower, it was a bath;
- printouts of papers quickly turn wet under a showerhead. in a tub, however, this can be easily avoided.
it seems to be a battle, hard-fought and barely won. i now have the lemma i want. on the other hand, i feel weary and out of sorts.
i don't know how anyone ever gets anything done.
