I modified my work space in anticipation of my thesis defence (a three hour video meeting). Am taking some time to get comfortable with the space and practice using the video interface (nothing new on race day, PhD version). Pup doesn't like the modification as our chairs are no longer at the same height! So instead of working on my defence prep, we are having a cuddle in pup's chair. This might be even more helpful than the writing I was trying to do!

Defence prep continues! Diving into more contemporary and adjacent literature. I'm tired. I would gladly be snoozing alongside the pup. The determined march towards the finish line continues! Slowly, slowly, slowly.

Is it bad that I am more excited about the possibility of having one less thing to do (eventually) than I am about the possibility of crossing the finish line?
