Today is my last first day of school.
In 2021, I started to get my Doctorate in Teaching and Learning from ISU; and I’ll be done in about six months.
I am excited for all that is coming my way and I am looking forward to sharing what I have been up to the last five years.
More later.

2.57 am: I just had dinner comprising a glass (two) of white wine and an omelette. I see the appeal in going against the traditional circadian rhythms, fellow nocturnals - but I doubt it’s sustainability. 🥱

Spent the evening baking four phenomenal cheesecakes for a Friendsgiving tomorrow. Can’t wait for everyone to have some tomorrow! Far away from home, these gatherings matter more than words alone can express. But first, bed time. 💤
