So weary. Handed my dissertation in yesterday. Now maybe my headache which has lasted 6 days can start to subside. Or maybe I'll need to get someone to undo the knots in my neck before that can happen. Going to have a much needed quiet week to recharge before picking up the next few essays that need to happen. I have lost sight of a few things the past little while. Need to try to find them again. Hopefully with rest, sleep, time to myself (hahahahahaaa what's that when you've got a 2 1/2 year old and no family nearby??) maybe I can find the space to take a deep breath and keep going, and to understand, and see the way forward.

In the meanwhile, Sophia and I will keep baking cupcakes and hope for the weather to start to warm up because I am so over wearing 6 layers and bulky coats every time we leave the house!
