- the final vote on my tenure case is this Friday. despite my husband’s sense we should do something “monumental” like “go to New Zealand” if it’s finalized, all I’ve asked for is steaks & a fancy salad at home. it’s been a very long process. I’m too tired for New Zealand.

- my cat got spayed today & she’s struggling & I just keep thinking about if a surprise surgery was sprung on me & I just woke up in a weird pink outfit. I don’t know why she hasn’t murdered me yet. but it’s probably coming.

- I always think about being in group therapy & a woman said she had a troubled relationship with her father until she realized she was relating to the dad she wished he would be—not him. once she accepted him as he was, it was easier—“but I still had to grieve that imaginary dad.”
