Ready for take-off

Fresh tea bag. Fresh air coming in the office window. 9:15 and 2 articles read already. Today is going to be much more productive than yesterday. (Not that it would take much to be more productive than I was yesterday… Still.)

It’s one of those things I’ve always known about myself, but have only acknowledged out loud recently–since I’ve been forcing myself to churn out 1,000 words of my thesis a day.
