Eureka!

I bought my cousin a card yesterday that said "If I worked in a lab I'd yell Eureka every once in a while, just to boost morale."

I may not be thinking brilliant thoughts, i.e., our friend here. BUT--I AM writing! I worked on one section of my chapter that is due sometime before I present it in April. And thus begins the ritual of the painfully slow academic writing process of me. I don't care if it's too early to celebrate, I actually wrote something! Now if I can just do it tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that...and so on for the rest of my life. And I washed three loads of clothes and the dishes from yesterday and cleaned out my closet so that I can actually enter it without stepping on dirty, soggy things.

So there. Cue the wind to raise my cape and ruffle through my hair. Now if only I could find my utility belt. Must have loaded it into the dishwasher by accident.
