For various reasons. Honestly, many of them are related to the constant sense of failure I feel by not having my dissertation done…by now. Because it is tough to celebrate the steps forward when I feel like the end journey is so far ahead.

I work all the time. That is what I do. That’s what I have always done for the last 20 years of my life (that’s half my life, for those who don’t know me).

I have been in grad school almost the entire time that my kids have been alive. Today this makes me feel infinitely sad.

I am super duper starting to not like it very much at all.

Dichotomies are simplistic.

Love,

P.S. My mother is having her 80th birthday in 2 weeks. That makes me feel old…and a little sad.
