Saturday, June 18th: Watching People at the Pride Parade and Writing

 I forgot to update yesterday, yet again. I also was distracted a little bit because I ran out of hummus and didn't know if I wanted to eat my breakfast egg cups as lunch. First world problems...sigh. 

In terms of my dissertation, I wrote 2 pages (and edited a bit) and read more archaeological reports, which gave me a better idea of the grotto and how I want to approach it. I've been following the dissertation camp's 4-hour format, but yesterday, I only worked for just under 3 hours, which is good enough because I made good progress. 

Today, I'm working a bit later than usual. I spent my morning replanting my marigolds and doing chores around the house, but I ended up coming to the Iowa City public library to do some writing. I didn't realize it's a Pride Parade day! People are so out and about downtown--full of sunshine and cheers. I'm just sat here next to large windows, listening to Beethoven and writing as I watch people walk by. It's quite lovely.
