Baby Steps.

Today feels a tiny bit better. I found out yesterday that that R03eq I worked on last year and submitted in January will indeed be funded, which is exciting. Hopefully I’ll have something like an academically credible CV in the event that I ever need one again. And I had a conversation with my boss who seems to think that I’m doing reasonably well for the beginning. She’s charitable and enthusiastic. I’m just feeling stupid and lonely and isolated and ugly. Which is pretty standard territory for me. I know it well enough to know it passes. Things pass. And life moves forward.
