I’m super thankful for my fellow doc students, who today have dropped off a laser printer and Candy Cane Joe Joe’s. There are some really generous people in my program. I have mostly given them car buying advice and PhD milestone tips.

I’ve been enjoying the Animaniacs reboot, while not finding it as rapturous as the Animaniacs of my youth. But let me tell you, there’s a pun in Ep 11 that would have made the whole season worth it for me even if I hadn’t enjoyed the rest of it.

My advisor just said “Let’s enjoy our time off!” which is code for “Stop working and go eat pie,” right?

Worn down to a nub from moming. Retreating to bed. Definitely going to sleep, NOT to watch The Mandalorian.

My kid just told me I’m “very proper” because I want him to “put on all the clothes.”

Me: Okay, I’m going to finish reading Frankenstein.
W: Didn’t you finish reading that last night?
Me: Did I? Oh I did!

Finished reading: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley 📚

My household will be celebrating the Yule Book Flood this year. I can’t afford to buy everyone in the world books, but if you ask me between now and 11/26, I’ll try to recommend a book for you by 12/1.

Bare tree branches against a clear blue sky remind me of lace.
