#AmDissertating Please send dumplings
A'ight. Only 1,425 words today, but if I do that every day for a month straight I'll be done, right? RIGHT??
#AmDissertating (and a bit under the weather) Please send chicken soup.
Done for the night.

(Sorry if you DGAF about my diss progress. I need to do this to keep myself going—and accountable.)
OK. #AmDissertating, finally. Please send pistachio pudding.
Have written "Metal Health Act" thrice today. 🤘

You'd think I'd have set up a phrase-expansion shortcut for "Mental Health Act" by now…

Pig break! #AmNotCurrentlyDissertating
I failed to persuade anyone to send me pistachio pudding. So…

+1,070 words today, and most of those were cut & pasted from my interview transcripts. But I got my chores out of the way and have a pile of leftovers ready (including pistachio pudding), so I'll have no excuse not to do better tomorrow.

G'night!

Tried this recipe: realsimple.com/food-recipes/b…

I recommend cutting the sugar & cornstarch a bit. I'd used 3/4 of the sugar in the recipe, but I still find the pudding a smidge too sweet. Not bad, though! And it drives home how commercial "pistachio" products totally ≠ pistachio.

Am brainspent. More tomorrow.
#AmDissertating. Stomach unsettled and still a bit under the weather. Send ginger beer.

Didn't do any heavy lifting today, but copied & pasted from my comps paper and proposal. Call it cheating, if you want! 😉

The rest of the week is pretty much a write-off. Wait, no. That almost makes it sound like I'll write a lot. No more writing till Friday aft.
That... should be a comma. I should hope I added more than two words to the manuscript.
+0 words today. #DidNotDissertate
