2021-01-02 Flip the Day… š¤ø
If you flip the script on this day.. this dateā¦ the palindrome enthusiasts find a different day just over 10 years ago. 2010-12-02. Where was I early in December in the year 2010? I know this was shortly after I met a person who would change the trajectory of my life. By that time I…

2021-01-01 Hurry Up and Wait ā°
Or.. Itās About Time. Two days ago I started writing about something that dissolved into a rant about titles and hierarchy and how disgruntled I felt after not being recognized for my contribution in an effort Iāve worked on and care deeply about.

2020-12-24 Itās Always the Eve of Tomorrow
Christmas Eve today. On one hand itās all just fine. I have everything I need here. My people, love, nourishment, warmth, opportunity, and am looking forward to tomorrow and the adventures we will find there. On the other hand, it just doesnāt feel right. It doesnāt feel like Christmas or the cusp of another residency…

2020-12-20 Stand in the Mirror and Wait for Feedback
Sunday again. Lacking sleep again. Still working on that lecture. On and on. Iām trying not to freak out. You know, but thereās so much to do. Res. GLR. Christmas. Bills. You know Iāve got bills that are like 60 days past due and I canāt even begin. I donāt know whatās wrong with me.…
