Something I thought about:

• This was a week of many small disasters, beginning with learning on Monday morning that the full-time childcare I had arranged for the week had fallen through, so I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get back to the status quo. I was thinking about balance and how hard it is to both juggle and to recover when things go sideways.

Something I did:

• Finished marking student essays and sent semester grades.
• Read and reverse outlined my diss.
• Worked on revising the second half of the diss.
• Slept way too little. Juggled.
• Celebrated a birthday.

Something I read:

• Student essays!
• Also my own diss. And the middle chapter way too many times.
