This is a thing that doesn’t happen often, but I bought new shoes. Vans, to be precise. This wouldn’t be significant, and isn’t in the grand scheme of things, but for … More New Shoes! | Monday Musings
Without intending to, I went on a blog hiatus, neither writing nor reading, mostly because testing is exhausting and I didn’t want to do anything when I got home from work. Testing is over now. I’ve upgraded my Planet Fitness membership so I can make use of the hydromassage as I attempt to fix the … More Taking Time to Relax

I’m committing to working on my dissertation, and have a set page count for each week. I’ve started already, and I’m feeling pretty good about it.
