In the midst of Super Shitty Summer, I'll take whatever small good things come my way. Today, a real acceptance from my R&R (no major surprise, really, as I've never NOT had an R&R accepted, but still a nice thing). Not sure when it will end up in print, though 2010 would be really good as that's when I'm up for tenure. The best part of it was reading the comments from coolest reviewer in the world (this is the reviewer who wrote *5* single spaced pages when I first submitted the article): I would LOVE to know who this person is, as we could have a really great chat about the author in question. But there's that whole double-blind thing.
Also got my annual review from my chair, which was not as warm and fuzzy as those of the previous two, but it does recognize that my numbers from the salary committee are very high for someone untenured (esp. considering I don't have a book in print) and that I'm in the top half of the department in terms of merit rankings overall. Like I said, I'll take what I can get.
LG is asleep. I have two movies from Netflix to choose from. I have strawberries and vanilla ice cream awaiting me (she's allergic to both). I get to go back to yoga tomorrow (the past 3 classes I skipped due to the m/c and monitoring) before dealing with writing deadlines and blood tests.
It's not pregnancy or a book contract, but small good things, nonetheless.
