A Master’s Degree in Pictures (Day 5:687)

Got a bit more sleep due to a nice late afternoon nap. I was able to pick up some fresh pasta, a parsley plant, garlic, and snow peas at the Lakewood Farmer’s Market during my lunch break; I am really digging the local produce and how wonderful the dinner’s made by their ingredients turn out.

This dinner Mary made a nice anti-pasta with garlic, basil, parsley, and olive oil mixed with fresh-made whole wheat pasta. IN-Credible.

Other than that, enjoyed a nice cup of tea and a pastry at the local coffee shop during my remote work, and was able to push through some more of my maternal & child health literature review. I finally conquered a large retrospective Medicaid study that was using some funky data displays.

Now, time to continue the sleep! 1 year, 10 months, 17 days to go!

Today’s Note: I’d like to remember…

- how interesting Lakewood is in terms of the variety of people. Some ethnically diversity, but more so diverse in terms of personalities. The Root is a wonderful place to see it in action.

- the power of an incoming storm. In the end we are all just the playthings of physics and imagination.

- having a mind to see past what the eyes can see.

- this time when Mary and I have nights free, when kids are still a pleasant dream, and we are navigating the new horizons of financial independence.
