Starting job applications, continuing to write, hiking. So far so good.

One of the striking things about leaving academia was how much stress reduction has improved my physical health. My face is starting to recover from the stress and overwork. My body doesn't feel tired all the time. My eyes aren't on fire. The bags are, less baggy (poetic description, I know).

I hope I can stay the course and not replace one bad career with another.
