I am frustrated for a different reason right now. I turned in my proposal draft on the 21st of June. 20 days ago. I emailed the academic reader (AR) on the 2nd of July. We are at 20 days since I turned it in. The waiting period is supposed to be 10 days at max.…

Another part of my dissertation worked on. I feel like Sisyphus rolling that rock up a hill. Every time I think I have something done, it comes back with remarks. Yes, I am aware that as a doctoral candidate things need to be done just so. But, seriously! At least this Subject Matter Expert is…

Bleah. It’s Monday. Mondays are always….. tiring. I have no idea why that is so now. I mean I have an odd work schedule. Sort of. Being a mom, I basically work 7 days a week, but officially I work for 6. Then there is my doctoral program, still. I am beginning to think I…

So, it has been almost 2 months since I last posted. Yeah, I have been busy. But, still, I should keep posting. It helps when I am trying to process whatever is going on in my life. There always seems to be something. Right now it is my health insurance. I will be losing it…

It is almost the end of October already. I can’t say that I will be sorry to leave this year behind us soon, but I can’t say that just changing the year on the calendar will make a difference. What a year it has been! Cancer diagnosis. Cruise! Cancer surgery. Car accident. Daughter and co.…
Shhh.... I have a secret
