Well, it's today, then

Of course I am still trying to work through a lot of thoughts and emotions. I've often labeled myself as a "slow emotional processor," so in a lot of cases I just have to be patient with myself to figure out what I'm feeling and experiencing (*on top of* working out what's going on with respect to interpersonal dynamics).

All that said and done, today feels less fragile than yesterday. Thanks, everyone, for all of the support and encouragement. It's good to remember that there are so many people out there rooting for me and for each other.

Not much else to say at this very moment, other than arghghghgh, there's too much work to do! I still haven't written my talk for conference #1 (which is next week), and we're trying to get a manuscript submitted this week, and, and, and...

Yeah.
