Lack of sleep notwithstanding, I did make it through my talk yesterday and it went perfectly well. Although I had struggled to nail down a point of interpretation for myself all week, the fact that I was drawing on my dissertation material made it really easy to field questions. I had to sit out a session or two later in the day to give my brain a rest, but we went out as a family later in the evening, took a nice brisk walk, and picked up some fun groceries. Then, thankfully, Katherine only woke once or twice in the night. We all needed the break! Not surprisingly, I felt a lot more prepared to take in the panels this morning.

Hooray! I knew you would do well – it’s that ‘mom’ faith!
I did lose my train of thought once, but in general adrenaline supported me once again. I’m sure it only cost me about a year off the end of my life . . .
