One month on
Sep. 10th, 2012 03:15 pmand I'm feeling good. Mostly. Terrified that we have no income, but even then we are so solidly middle class that we can weather this. Worst comes to worst we sell the house.
But it still causes me panic attacks.
Apart from that I am making some tentative moves to starting a phd. Including writing an article about how the prevalence of 'don't feed the trolls' allows freedom of movement for stalkers and naming and shaming trolls is vital for women's safety online (aka the Can I Talk To You troll, the John troll from geekfeminists lately, and I am sure there's another case I am missing).
But I've been out of the game for years now. The last time I wrote a properly referenced article was 2007. Work didn't really give a fuck until I started referencing things (before then it wasn't included) and only then did they start enquiring 'so, where did you get those numbers?'. So I'm a little out of practice.
The abstract isn't due until October 15.
I mean, can I even do this given I'm not studying anywhere?
In other news my daughter is fucking amazing and awesome. She's got this weird sense of humour and this amazing memory and she is just so vibrant and passionate and unashamed. It's really a total wonder to be around so much again, and see her so much more.
