So...like...in the middle of a global pandemic, in the lead-up to the single most stressful and consequential election in my life, while managing a small child, is probably the wrong time to be entertaining self-doubt and hair-pulling about the quality and impact of my recent research program, right?

that is sadly an extremely good assumption, I keep thinking with the eternal optimism of the careerist that this is just a particularly crunch patch and it will let up very soon. and YET.

I feel like we need a whole new vocabulary word for "fine under the circumstances, insert hollow scream here", but I am delighted things are going so well-under-the-circumstances for you! So great that you can live together, that makes such a difference -- and liking your job, that is huge!
