First day of spring. My pretty tree out front is blooming. I love that tree. Dan wants to cut it down, but the nice landscape guy said we should just prune it back some. I had a good day. The IRB approved of my research and called it "exempt" which helps. Plus, my bracelet is going to get fixed for free. It was a good first day of spring. AND my Jeffersonia Dyphalia is blooming again.

Yeah! A clean, freshly painted and organized kitchen pantry! At least something is under my control. It rained on my shelves outside, but I rescued them. I got mad at Squirt tonight because I had to go pick him up in the dark in the rain. I don't see well at night in the rain.

OK, so my dissertation is really getting to me again. This time I tackled the kitchen pantry. It's disgusting. I took out all the food and cleaned the shelves. Then I sent Dan to the store to get paint.

All the kids were over tonight- what a treat! Also, the closet is all filled up with coats again.

Today I was really bugged about my dissertation and got really sad. I haven't been sleeping well and have been really anxious. I had a bad dream last night and had a hard day. Dan brought me flowers. This is our pretty living room.

Here are photos of the closet after I painted it with the same paint from Dan's office. Sunny closet!

I'm getting really bogged down with my dissertation so this afternoon I decided to paint the hall closet. Here are the before pictures.

I'm feeling the weight of my dissertation hanging over me. Jes took this picture.

Dan is getting ready for his backpacking trip. He ordered this little tripod for a camera. It's all bendy. I set it on a basket and took a self portrait of it.

First day of March. Dan and I went for a hike on the trail around town and I saw blooming crocuses! Then we went to eat dinner at my favorite place, Sticks, and I saw the criss cross of contrails out the window of the restaurant.

March

I am currently buried underneath the weight of a dissertation proposal that is marching to a tight timeline. Every once in a while, I take a photo and intend to upload it here, but for the time being, consider my daily photo blogging on sabbatical. Hope to be back in business soon.
