But Erica, you can catch a ride with somone else, you say.

Yes, I could. This is my last term, and we are trying to get David out to watch me walk, and I would want to be able to take us back to the airport together. I want that experience of traveling with him again. We haven’t done it in years because school necessitated that I fly twice a year. It’s almost over. I don’t really know how to feel about it.

I submitted my manuscript, after additional issues with the time. I’m hoping it is edited to everyone’s satisfaction. It felt like, at least to me, that the first half was edited well. The last 100 pages left much to be desired, I think. The only comfort right now is that I can’t do anything about it. It’s been submitted and my mentors will make their judgements. If I have to make edits, I will.

David and I saw Star Trek last night. I thought it was brilliant. The pacing was intense, the tone both comical and serious, and the actors just blew my socks off. If you can, I think that you should go and see it. I would say more, but I know some of my readers will go and see it this weekend. I hate spoilers and I wouldn’t do that to you.

But now, I have things to do, so here’s a picture of bliss.
