It's been a big week. I did some crazy things, like defend my dissertation and see a brand new baby and ride a train from Chicago to Michigan. Amid all that, I've been...
seeing: smiles on friends' faces, and encouraging subtle nods, and a dozen roses and all this beauty; deer grazing beside abandoned industrial plants in southern Michigan near the tracks
hearing: "Congratulations, Dr..." over and over in my head; today, the weight of my parents' cat's body as she jumps from floor to chair to floor, and her demanding meows as I ate lunch
smelling: those roses, and my chill out tea, and (anticipating) pizza, and the strange late-winter warm breezes
tasting: chocolate
feeling: relief, and anticipation, and gratitude, and the solid warmth of a mug between my hands
