More indexing, more lecture prep.

8 largeish entries. Only big ones left.

Aiming for maybe 3 index entries today, since they're very long.

2,000 words so far this month, on track for 4,000. If I can finish the draft by May – arduous but doable – my advisor thinks I could graduate in December '23 or May '24. There is an ever-so-small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel . . .

Just hit 4,000 words for this month. I think I can finish this chapter by early January.

Yea for you!

Managed six. I'm all the way into F, with just one (large) entry left there before I'm down to I.

Sounds like the basis for a Sesame Street song....

Ugh!


I'll do the last F today. We'll see about anything more.

OK, systems on the mend: last of the computer replacement parts came yesterday (love my little back-up power bank!), and brain cells sem to be waking up as well, so:

After a consult yesterday with a very helpful, more far-sighted-than-I friend, I'm holding off on three "just-post-em-to-show-them" ideas I was considering in a kind of desperate move just to get some orphan articles out in public (which I had qualms about, hence the consult) and create settings (turn an old website into a blogsite with teasers) in which I retain more control of them instead.

Prep for the discussion took a day, which was well-spent, and pulled my foggy brain towards more functionality than it's seen in the past 2 weeks...counting that as a plus.

Two still-in-limbo, trying-to-be finished articles for real submissions that have awaited the brain cells' return can now start to see more bits of work, again--one hopes!--and a schedule for those worked out, too.

Better....

Did a few biggies, done to O.

Slipped in an Easter egg, too.

Surprise: I'm done! I even formatted it all.

I'll still want to tidy a few small things up, however.

[mamselle]

Yea!

Fell a bit behind on data analysis for project 2, but I should be able to catch up tomorrow.

Some index fine-tuning today, plus teaching stuff. It'd be great to make some progress on a 2023 commitment, but that may have to be displaced to December.

Oh yeah. I owe a referee report. Darn.
