Day 1319
Sunday of the long weekend, and the last day of August. Tomorrow is Labour Day, and the unofficial end of the summer. What a season it has been. My summer has been far more productive than I thought it would be. For one thing, I did a lot more teaching than I had expected. Yes,…

Day 1317
If you are wondering why I have been so distracted these last few days, let me assure you that it was not because I was being lazy. The following came up (one externally, one internally) since Tuesday: So yes, I have been working my furry little tail off. This afternoon I passed the exam (yay).…

Day 1294
**NOTE: This post was written August 6, 2025… I just noticed that it did not publish. I am backdating it for that reason. -MDG I was shocked when I saw the numbers on the bathroom scale this morning.

Day 1279
I was going to say that I spent the morning procrastinating, but in truth I have been diligently writing emails that needed to be written. I have also (at long last) made an appointment to get my eyes checked (I suspect it has been three years since I did) so that I can then get…

Day 1275
It felt like I was walking around with an anvil on my back from the moment I could not sit my exam on Tuesday until the minute I received an email from ISC2 at 2:00pm yesterday afternoon telling me how I could now rebook my exam. Precisely forty-nine hours and fifteen minutes. That weight is…
