Being unemployed is a lot of work. Even more work is preparing for a PhD state exam and dissertation defence, which I’m taking in late November. When these workloads combine, what we get is a blogging break. I’ll be retiring for this month in my hermit’s cave to study, and I hope to remerge in December, or as soon as I’m up to it. I’ll be still posting my lazy 365 project photos, though, so you won’t miss miss me. Have a fun autumn!

Good luck, Mara. Believe me, you will re-emerge stronger but not necessarily as you expected….

Oh yes, I’m too convinced that I will re-emerge wiser, and certainly not in ways that I originally imagined. It’s never as you imagine, is it?
