Why is October Always Insane?

Things that have to/will happen in the next four weeks:

- A completed article draft (two weeks)
- A workshop I'm co-teaching (two weeks)
- An online lecture I'm co-giving (four weeks) that currently has 286 people registered and 1,180 "interested" people on Facebook.

THE FUCK.

How do I do this to myself, honestly.

Also I have two incredibly passive-aggressive emails from frenemies in my inbox I'm dithering on how to respond. Like. Why.
