Refocusing

I did not do any academic activities yesterday. Instead, I rode my bicycle a lot: to the farmer's market (squee!*), to get cupcakes (buzz!), and to a park on the edge of the city where the Extreme Picnickers and I camped overnight.

The break was good, for I woke up this morning to the sounds of birds and had a chance to get excited again about what I am studying, research-wise.

Plus, I am now only 150 miles away from 4000 miles for the year.


*(I had some particularly fine company for the ride, if I do say so myself.)
