2020-04-04 Much Needed Relief
Somehow yesterday, even as I was lamenting the shit show my week had been, I knew that relief was on the way. I’m not sure if I had this notion because I knew it was Friday AND my period just had to start or if it was just that after several days of rotten strung…

2020-04-03 Nebraska Kind of Moody
Two days ago it was 70 degrees and sunny. This morning I woke up to sleet and a fresh layer of snow on the ground. That’s spring In Nebraska and those wild swings kind of remind me of my mood these days. Yesterday was another really rough day. There were so many different interconnected factors…

2020-03-20 Best Laid Plans 🤷♀️
Today I’m going to try… really try to get through the last third of my manuscript and revise those pages based on feedback from my mentor. I have a call with him tomorrow. *** I literally wrote that opening sentence 7 hours ago. I was called away by other duties as assigned and now it’s…

What is it today besides Friday the 13th?? The first day my kids are off school because of the pandemic. 😷 The end of the week and I have not yet my weekly goal for submission. 😦 My thesis manuscript has turned into endless revisions with no light at the end of the tunnel. 😧…
