Life is BUSY.
Unfortunate timing, as I’m experiencing a distinct funk at present, leaving me utterly drained. I’m an exhausted, heaving assemblage of emotional debris.
I have a residential week at University starting on Monday, (while working at night to keep things at the office on-track). As my dissatisfaction with my current professional role slowly smolders towards [...]

Yes, yes, I’m still here. Thanks for the emails. I’ll do a proper post tonight.
