maintaining my sanity

these are some of the ways in which I keep my sanity during the last stretch of my doctorate:

- watering and taking care of my plants (including talking to them).
- cooking (and trying new recipes).
- reading other people´s blogs (and obsessing about the popularity of mine).
- painting (and wondering if it will be a painting worth displaying).
- sleeping, napping, resting (and still feeling tired).
- drinking coffee and herbal teas (and strawberry margaritas).
- talking to my partner about my frustrations (and crying a lot for no reason).
- reminding myself that this is *just* a thesis and not (necessarily) a Nobel Prize.
- thinking of the future & making plans (and panicking about it).
- sighing, sighing, sighing (sigh).
