Reflections from 11.10.24

I skipped last week’s post. Sunday, I was busy with schoolwork and didn’t have time. I planned to post something later, but the election happened and I just didn’t feel like posting at all.

Favorite Picture of Last Week

Our oldest, Norah, joined us at the polls to cast her first vote in a presidential election. And while most of the races didn’t go the way we hoped, I love that I was able to share this experience with her.

Feels

  • Nervous. I’m worried for the future of our country and the future of democracy in general.
  • Optimistic. I had advisement this week and feel like I have a strong path forward toward finishing my Ph.D. I’m planning on taking two courses in the fall, one in the summer, and then, I’m pretty much just writing from there to the end of my dissertation.
  • Reclusive. I don’t really feel like being around anyone right now. It’s don’t feel like sharing on social media. I kinda just want to be a recuse for a little while.

Health

  • Fine. This week wasn’t the best week for my health.

Projects

  • School work. I’ve got to talk about my research on Wednesday. And then finish up my project for class. Very doable.

Entertainment

  • Not much. I’ll be honest. Pretty much avoiding all media right now. Just not feeling it.
