Day 120

I submitted my literature review today, and I feel like an enormous weight has been lifted! I have one more thing to submit, which is really two papers, and then I will be done with the first year of my PhD program. Holy moly. 

Tonight was an extra special treat because Elena joined Santa and me at Happy’s Run Club. Then, when I got home, I spent quality time with my husband. It’s not often that we sit around on the couch and run our mouths about whatever is on our minds, but we made space for that tonight, and it was perfect. 

Something that made today great: Scooter came to work with me for a little bit today! 

Time I woke up: 8:24 am
