I really relate. I want to add something to what you wrote but there's not much more to say. Those moods pass and you (and all of us) just need to take are of yourself while you weather them. Exactly what you did.

I hope your conference goes well. :)

And fingers crossed you get your grant!

Oh, lord, I really need to see Hirayasumi. Sounds like the prescription I'm looking for. Bummer that it's only available on Prime.

It is LOVELY and I recommend it if you can find it elsewhere. Will you be at AWP?

I won’t be at AWP. I hope you feel better soon and thank you for the reco. I’ll keep an eye out.

I am happy to report that my East Coast legs have returned—I roamed for a while and even though I had to layer up (with clothes not meant to be layered), it was brisk and not too bad since I was moving. It was cold last night but I had a window open because the hotel room smelled like disinfectant so okay, that’s on me. I unfortunately get cold ears and already lost an ear muffin at the aquarium. I wanted an adventure—I got it!

And you have the inside scoop! Just spent past 35 minutes getting authorized to be treated in this region, then off to clinic. All good!

welcome to Baltimore! The good news is that it's supposed to be 70 by the week-end. Hope you feel better. If I can bring you something let me know. I live uptown, near Johns Hopkins, Thomasin

Hello hello! I looked up the weather and figured I’d stay in until Thursday but of course need to head out to the clinic soon. I am much relieved and very grateful it was so easy to work with Kaiser here. Thank you for your kindness, Thomasin! See you at AWP!
