My inner child is delighted to begin watching #Ironheart. Finally something that’s not a sitcom or another iteration of one show.

Grateful to have more work completed on the book manuscript. And elated that past-me looked out for future researcher me by taking copious notes of 100+ year old documents that can’t be touched any more. #writing #midwives
