At the moment, the state of the Vicki is "somewhat stressed," of the sort where I realized from physical signs and then stopped and figured out (at least most of) why. Much of it is self-limiting: both my menstrual period and my pre-con jitters will be over soon, no matter what I do.
This afternoon at work, I wound up explaining to my officemate why "what does the graph of edx/dy look like?" isn't a well-defined question, after he asked me what said curve would look like. (No, this had nothing to do with anything either of us was working on, and next time I'll let him re-teach himself calculus; I had to explain to him that yes, derivatives are calculus.) He was willing to accept it when I wrote down four relatively straightforward equations, the relevant derivatives for each, and how different ethose values were. Nothing weird, just stuff like f(x)=x2, f(x)=x-3, and f(x)=cos(x). And then I went back to fiddling with grammar and typos, and looking up the diameter of Betelgeuse (which was work-related) and the area of Florida (ditto).
I've also been to the gym, which helps some with the stress.
Cardio, 15 minutes, top heart rate 138
Leg press, 250 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Adjustable row, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Angled calf raise, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Balance ~fly, 65 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}
Tricep pulldown, 40 pounds, 7 (that doesn't go well after pushing myself to the limit on the ~fly, which I shall try to remember)
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}
Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Hip adduction, 110 pounds, 13, 9
Hip abduction, 95 pounds, 11
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 3 sets of 20
