playing the game of "how many other things on my to-do list can I accomplish before I actually have to sit down and write this grant?" 🙈

So tired that I tried to brew a pot of coffee into a single travel mug this morning 🙈

Me: *hasn't paid attention to the political situation in this country since I'm adjusting to working full time again, logs on to social media this afternoon*
