Solidarity 👊🏻

I’m tired. So very, very tired.

This has been a semester for the books. Not one of those good books. One of those books you really, really want to donate but also don’t want to inflict on anyone else 🤷🏻‍♀️

😂

🤢🤮

My face covered with dust from sanding drywall. The bottom half is clear because I was wearing a mask.

A concrete porch with an outline of where I stomped drywall dust from my clothes. It looks a lot like a police outline 😂 I am to the left of pic with just the tips of my very dusty boots visible in the frame. There is light snow visible off the porch to the right of image.

Did a little drywall sanding today…

I didn't think that this voicemail message for this municipal district a thousand miles away would make me cry, but it did.

I'd say these guys need to be running the country but they seem to be exactly where they need to be

A tri-colored beagle/dachshund mix sleeping on a faux sheep skin mat laying on a patterned stuffed chair. The chair pattern is abstract birds and leaves in tones of brown, cream, and purple. The dog is sleeping head on paws, curled up like a fat kidney bean shape.

I’m sorry this happened to you. I’ve been as circumspect as I can when posting too for similar reasons. Glad to hear from you again, pocket friend! And here is a sleepy Finn.

Nice 3-year teaching+research postdoc at NYIT!

The human anatomy teaching experience is tremendously valuable; for people in our fields (e.g., morphology, biomechanics, palaeontology) it opens up great faculty job opportunities! And the NYIT faculty are great.
