I still have miles to go on the dissertation writing but I’m getting really good at toilet repairs.
Replaced the tank flap and installed a new handle in under twenty minutes. I'm pretty proud of my work.
There’s a metaphor in there somewhere.
I really like it. And, every time I do it, I want more. I’ve really been into walking lately. What did you think I meant, weirdo?
I like it in the early morning, and the late afternoon. That’s my preference but, on occasion, I’ve gotten on it midday.
The lighting at aunrise or sunset is amazing, though. Over the summer break, I was going at sunrise because it is coolest part of the day. Now that I’m back at work, I’m beginning to walk around sunset. And I’m going to keep doing it.
Going through the camera roll on my phone, and I realize that I had not posted a single thing since May.
Perhaps I was too focused on my dissertation writing. Perhaps I have too many other adult responsibilities. In any case, I’ve decided that I need to get back on bullshit and start posting here once or twice per week.
Meanwhile, enjoy some pics from late May/early June 2024 in Palm Springs.
My last post was over a month ago and a lot has happened. The district EOY party was last week. A long shot won the Kentucky Derby. And, Lulu is fascinated by the new dog next door.
In other news, I’ve finished Chapter 1 and have a good working draft for Chapter 2 of my dissertation. Onward!

Citrus blooms happened overnight. At least, the navel orange seemed to explode in the last 24 hours. The smell is amazing. I worry that the coming cold front, with its wind and rain, will knock down some of the buds. The bees seem do not seem to be bothered with it, though.
