lazy or pregnant?

chhotiiI had thought that if I got my nose above water at work before November 2, I'd call the New Hampshire Kerry office and see if they needed any light office work done. I love working at political campaigns as long as they don't try to get me to do phone bank. Hanging out with other people who care is cool.
Well, now my nose is well above water at work. Semantic priming task: ugly hacked code ripped out and replaced with shiny new C++ objects, which went surprisingly smoothly. Issue with router: side-stepped. Collaborator in Wales: not co-operating, so if his stuff isn't working... well, I've done what I can do.
But now all I want to do is sleep, eat, and watch baseball. I don't want to deal with Kerry staffers and I don't want to drive to NH and I don't want to hear any more about this election except in very small doses until we find out how it turns out. I feel the need to crawl into a cozy burrow and gestate. I've been spending a lot of time over the past few days just taking it easy, sleeping in and so forth... not that there's anything wrong, specifically, that I can identify, but just feeling the need to pull back from the world and avoid stress.
Damnit, given my interests, getting pregnant in an election year was really really bad timing.

I am venturing out for social events-- I'd go stir-crazy if I spent 100% of my time in my cozy burrow, thus the party in Somerville beckons. Don't know if anything is going on tomorrow, though.
