I'm a dad of two, a husband, a scientist, a teacher, and perhaps a secular Buddhist.
In science I trust.
I apologise for mixing British and American English.

@chrismcmillan0 I mean, what if my answer is No to any activity?
For me, that's a sign that I'm burned out and need a break.
Finding three good things from the last month that made me truly happy (not just relief from stress) is harder. Here they are:
1. My daughter (6 months) started to sit and is trying to crawl,
2. My mum stayed with us for three days and it was nice,
3. I reviewed an academic paper that slightly touched on Buddhism.

Recently I haven't been very active on the Fediverse. Too many urgent duties and stress. I'm more anxious than average, but the last month was objectively extreme. Three relieving things:
1. A PhD student that I advise submitted his thesis just before the deadline,
2. My car passed inspection with no issues, although I remembered the deadline at the last moment,
3. Our paper passed peer review and was accepted just before the project ended.
