> Hi. Linden. I'm worrying about you.
I'm worrying about me too. If I don't watch out, I could have several unpleasant interactions today. Unfortunately, the meeting with my advisor that we planned last week to discuss my initial descriptive stats on my dissertation data may be overshadowed by the rejection for publication that came through the pipes at 10 last night. This could turn out very badly. I will really have to be diplomatic and firm to make sure that my advisor understands that the meeting is about my dissertation, and to shield myself from her immediate petulant demands that I revise the rejected paper ASAP. (the editor gave us 12 months, btw).
> Hope my drawing-angst didn't bother you. I wasn't really going to kick it. I cant imagine that. Although I can imagine scrunching it and throwing it out--except it's too big, and the paper is too heavy for anything like that. But it helps a lot to get not have to see and remember something that bad. I'm not angry at it, or myself even-- just need to start over.
I think it's going to be okay. I'm glad you got a little bit more perspective today. that helps a lot.

>Thanks Jost. You're very kind. I hope things go better too. I ended up having one of those very rare hacking sobbing episodes last night. I had tears all evening after hanging up with difficult husband, but as soon as I started brushing my teeth, I couldn't hold it back any longer. I cried myself to sleep. I always bury my face in my pillow, because I don't want anyone to hear me. Isn't that strange? Well maybe not.
my meeting starts in seven minutes. press your thumb for me (Drueck Dir die Daumen fueur mich)
:o|
if I feel really sh*tty this afternoon I'll make a phone call to my T. I've never done this before. but this might be a good opportunity to practice it.
