Just Say No to Whining

I haven't been posting because I've been so fixated on revising this frustrating paper (good draft sent off to adviser by the way; I think it's almost done) that I'm thinking of little else. I assume no one wants to hear me complain about the same thing every day.

I was reminded that tone of voice doesn't translate over email when I complained to a friend and she sent me advice that was helpful and sympathetic, but way more serious than the situation called for. (I tend to exaggerate.) Overall, her advice is good, but the seriousness of it sent me into a bit of an overreaction. I'm better now. Water off a duck's back and all.

Today, I'm going to read a book I need to prep for Fall and wash dishes. Maybe even some laundry!
