Drinking 2 liters of water a day and cutting out alcohol has been amazing. I'm experiencing a mental clarity I haven't seen in a long time. Here's to living a better life! #mentalhealth

Q: How many hours does it take to learn how to insert a bibliography in a book in #LaTeX?

A: So many that I'm embarrassed and feel like a fraud. Pass the kleenex please, lol!!

I find myself more and more on the side of the people and less on the side of the administration, both in my job and in my kids' schools. Am I wrong?
I've said it before, but I feel like the problems in my life are so big that I can't relate to normal people.
I left the charger to my laptop in my office Friday. My battery is almost dead and it's killing me. Can you run Linux on an iPhone?? Lol
Crushing it at work and approaching nuclear meltdown at home. This can't be good. #Bipolar #MentalIllness
Two days without my meds (pharmacy closed due to New Year). Feeling manic but was able to pick up my refill today. The system needs to do better at providing continuity in treatment rather than insurance controlling everything. #Bipolar #MentalHealth #MentalIllness
Since I left #Facebook and #Twitter, I'm much much happier. I spent time today installing new software and reading up on the discrete element method in preparation for my new #NSF project. And I updated my CV. Not because I had to but because it is what I wanted to do to pass the time. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. #AcademicMastodon #TwitterMigration #MentalHealth
I just explained my upcoming sabbatical to my 12yo. Their response: "and you still get paid??" Lol. #academicmastodon
Breaking free from #birdsite and #facebook all at once is liberating. 10/10 highly recommend!
