I’m not sure what it was yesterday, but I just collapsed. It was a fairly intense work day — had a podcast recording for two hours in the morning to start, with Fred Berman, the audiobook narrator for my co-host Benjamin Rosenbaum‘s _The Unravelling_.

Got the kids off to school — since I don’t teach until noon this semester, I told Kavi that I’d drive her in on any morning that it was below freezing at school time. I was honestly fretting quite a bit about her walking in (30 minute walk to high school) last week while I

I *may* have attended my 8 a.m. Plurality University board meeting (so early because they’re based in France) and turned off video / audio for a while when the director was giving his recap, so that I could simultaneously get in my 20 minutes of morning treadmill… …and did that make me feel like a

I have a hard time just sitting without something I’m working on in my hands, so I did a little mending during last night’s writing workshop. I’m new to visible mending, and I like some things about how this came out, and dislike other aspects, but taking my favorite jeans from non-functional to functional again
