Working from home means I've been getting a lot of bird watching in! There are a bunch that stop by our feeder including cardinals, jays, a couple kinds of woodpecker, a red-winged blackbird, and several very round mourning doves. My conference paper did get accepted! I handed in the camera-ready copy last week and posted it to arxiv.org, but it's 'on hold' and I'm not sure how long to wait before talking to them given waves hands the general state of things. A week? Two weeks? It's been intermittently really hard to focus but my advisor expects a lot of progress so I'm trying my best. My wife and metamour are both working from home and their managers are all "take lots of breaks" "don't work too hard" which is just furthering my desire to be done with grad school one way or another.
