Someday I will learn coffee in the late afternoon is a terrible idea. Today isn’t that day and tomorrow doesn’t look promising, either.

Happy belated birthday (I know how much more it stinks than usual to lose a fur baby on your birthday—I had to say goodbye to Tommy on mine).

Incidentally, I have connective tissue disorder where retinal detachment is common, so you can imagine why I panicked and went to the ER!

Oof, I wound up in the ER with one of those in May. I had no idea those were a thing, which is why I went. It was 2 weeks after my rotator cuff surgery and the docs and nurses would come in before looking at my paperwork, saw I was in a sling, and all thought I was there for my arm. Not fun.

I think we need to make it best practice to thank those who teach our classes while doing research in our pubs. I happen to know which adjunct is teaching the class I would have taught if it weren’t for my course release this semester for my book research. He’s getting an acknowledgment in the book.

It’s the worst. PhD, 19 years teaching as instructor of record, 4 books, and currently associate professor, and you may or may not be shocked that you make more than me. It’s awful out there. Hugs, friend.
