One of the minor social benefits of being married to an ICU doctor is that it is really easy to explain to people what my husband does. But since my husband started at Google it’s been a bit trickier. “What’s a doctor doing at Google?”
When you write a blog for as long as I have written this one, it’s inevitable that what you write about will change from time to time. This is one of those times. Going forward, I’ll still do book reviews and question posts, but I’ll also sprinkle in more posts about what it’s like to go to grad school at the age of Parent-to-a-Teenager.
Happy New Year!
The calendar has kept flipping and it is somehow that time again. I know not everyone who reads this blog celebrates Christmas, but I persist in being grateful for each one of you, and hope that you will accept my using today’s holiday as an excuse to thank you for reading Caterpickles.
Since Twitter began exploding in earnest back in July, I’ve been ruminating on how or whether I want to continue using Twitter-like social media going forward. Here’s how I’m thinking through it so far.
Like so many, we here at Caterpickles Central are heartbroken at the news coming out of Maui.
At last a day off! I hope you get at least one this week too, and that you are able to use it exactly as you need to. (Can you tell my culminating semester project is due the week after Thanksgiving, and I’m a little stressed about it?)
Hello, friends! It’s summer and at last I’m back!
2022, like 2021, 2020, and 2019 before it, has been a lot so far. Between the news, some difficult events in our extended circle, and everything going on at school lately, I am emotionally exhausted and in the market for a distraction. You may be too. So in that spirit, I offer this update from the mini-wildlife refuge we call a backyard.
School starts on Wednesday, and guess who gets to start working in the library in-person again (at least for now)?
