Met with Greenstar Power guy this afternoon, and we're moving forward on the whole solar thing! Pergola should go up next week, & hopefully the panels around the 1st of June!

Got some coding done! And a little bit of writing on chapter 4! Productive weekend! (Also, I may or may not have started writing some fic for the weewoo show, because I couldn't not after the glorious hurt/comfort opportunity of [spoilers]Bobby's death[/spoilers]. Dissertation? What dissertation?)

Got a lot done yesterday on my inductive coding! Spent a lot of time on the laptop! This morning: woke up with iritis for the first time in 2 years.

Good lord but in vivo coding takes a lot of time and mousing. Have any of y'all used Nvivo? Did you find it helpful? I don't know that I want to shell out another $118 for more software.

Well, I have decided to add a pergola as part of my solar agreement. I am excite! I am not so excited about my dataset, but I'm working on fixing the problem. Hopefully it will work.

My mom's going home on Saturday, woohoo! I'm still really worried about how weak she is, but hopefully once she's home she'll eat more.

Got the cable guys coming to install fiber wireless today & my house is gross, so I'm trying to clean and sweating like a pig. Meanwhile, they could arrive any time now.

Am I the first to do a diss with pre- and post-suveys related to an intervention in my program? I think I might be. That still doesn't excuse that I was never told I needed to have individual identifiers for each participant in order to do the stats I want to.

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Good newses! First, my mom's hgb went up, so she's being discharged to rehab today after all! Second, I found a different tutor who seems like he'll be much more helpful than the first one! Bad news: couldn't get the chat with the Qualtrics customer service rep to work.

Why oh why did no one tell me about [thing] that I needed to do with my surveys before I administered them? Why, Lucky, why?

My mom's doing worse again. Her hemoglobin is really low, and they don't know where the bleeding's coming from. Maybe stress ulcers. She's probably going to get an endosccopy tomorrow.

Just went through 1.5 hrs of SPSS training & feel more behind than I did when I started. Which is partially my fault, but no one told me I had to create separate IDs for everyone ARGH.

I've requested a meeting with the tutor that helped me with my quantitative assignment last spring. I haven't heard back from the quant guy on my committee, & I don't know what to do with my SPSS file!

I finally got to talk to my mom! It was a brief conversation, but so good to hear her voice! She's medically ready for discharge but a bed won't be available until Monday 😟

A lot has changed in the world, so my colleagues and I at the @fordschool are opening up a special emergency admissions cycle for folks who want to start a Masters of Public Policy this fall. Deets are here: fordschool.umich.edu/masters-prog... I hope to see you in class in September!

The flowers from the second florist were delivered this morning & were exactly what I asked for & my mom loves them, so hooray for that! She's also off oxygen! Thanks to a confusing text, sent stuff from Amazon to my mom's instead of my sister's, but oh well.

The flowers I ordered on SUNDAY kept being delayed & were never delivered & I am PISSED about it. Don't ever order from blossom dot com! I canceled the order and found a different florist, so hopefully she'll get them tomorrow.

They don’t have an isolation room available at rehab, so she’ll be stuck in the hospital until Friday or Saturday.

Mom still in the hospital; supposed to be sent to rehab on Thursday. Did my 2nd training today & it went okay. Have been through my interviews with 21 different codes! Still need to figure out how to analyze quant. data.

Latest on my mom is that she won't be released before Weds. at the earliest, and then into rehab.

My mom is doing better, may be discharged as early as tomorrow, but will need rehab. I might be going to MI again next week after I do my training (again). I really need to get some work done, but it is so hard to focus!

Okay, I need to get to work on coding. Despite being stressed out and also awakened at 6:41 via unnecessary text. I've talked to my mom's nurse. She's doing okay. I can get to work. Any minute now.

My mom's finally settled in a regular room and is doing better. Still on 3L of oxygen, but that's been weaned down a lot.

So my mom's headed to the hospital with pneumonia. She's 87, so this is super scary.

So I have to start coding, right, & I called my mom for a pep talk, & she sounded AWFUL. Short of breath, coughing, just AWFUL. My sister's in Cleveland but coming back early to take her to urgent care. My mom says pneumonia is going around her retirement community. & she's never had COVID.

Got some stuff done today but still producing major foothils of snot (as compared to the mountains I was producing last week). But my transcripts are cleared up and ready for coding!

Didn't get success coach job 🙃 Taxes filed. Yes, I always seem to wait until the last moment on the taxes, but they're done.

I think I have finally finished my slide deck for tomorrow. Still have to put together the pre- and post-surveys, & somehow come up with 5 more questions than I had originally, plus print stuff & get materials together, but as of now my brain has shut off.

Still struggling to get work done amongst the mountains of snot I'm producing. Making progress, at least, although I still have a lot to do before my workshop tomorrow.

*Trying* to get the energy together to work on school stuff, but I still have fuzzy flu brain. I've got my workshop on Monday, & I need to be ready for it, but doing research is like wading through molasses (even more than usual)!

Sent in my application to present at AASHE in October--fingers crossed! I have so much work to do, and I'm still super congested & coughing, but I don't have any choice but to go for it all despite feeling crappy.
