Super headachey, so probably gonna lie down, may or may not do more #FSNNA22 today.
Me to friend who is also a mom: Want me to drop the water bottle you left at M’s birthday party off at your house?
Her: Yes.
Me: I’ll let you know if I forget to.
Her: Fair enough.
Parents’brains are full, y’all.
W just reminded me we have a Parent-Teacher conference this morning so I actually will miss the first 2 #FSNNA22 sessions today but should be back in time for the keynote.
Up too early and going to sleep a little more. I’m going to miss the first #FSNNA22 session of the day because it’s right during kid-day-prep time, should be around for everything except the last session (kid pickup time) & the vid show (kid dinner time).

Now is the part of #FSNNA22 where I retreat to my hotel room, order room service, and watch TV except because it’s a virtual conference I retreat to the kitchen, heat up a flatbread from Daily Harvest, and hang out with my kid.
The Daily Mail: Don’t use these emojis! They make Gen Z people perceive you as old!
Me: I mean they’re going to perceive me like that either way, so I’ll use whatever emojis I like.
Time for a liedown, hope to be back up in time for the #FSNNA22 publishing session.
It’s super energizing to go to conferences like #FSNNA22, #CLS2022, and #FanLIS2022. I’m reminded that I do enjoy research, I am part of a community of scholars, and I have things to contribute.
