Well, 28 years and done. I will have a lot more to say in the coming weeks; for now, I’m just feeling gratitude and a good sense of relief. It has been a difficult year; having set the goal of being as helpful as possible, I think I did a pretty good job. So for now, the sun sets on a career. It’s a really weird feeling.

I forced myself to leave the house on Saturdays in November and December instead of just sitting home and working the ENTIRE weekend.
I am very grateful for my incredible husband, my supportive family, my quirky cats, my lovely students, and my wonderful colleagues.
