Just hanging around...

This hasn't exactly been the best week. In fact, it's been full of tears. There have been the dissertation-tears, job-application-tears, advisor-tears, I'm-a-mediocre-scholar-tears, I-have-no-money-tears (don't worry, Mom: I'm getting paid on Friday), wah wah wah. But, Sarah B. came to the rescue, bearing watermelon (and you all know how much I love watermelon) and delicious casserole. She also sent me this encouragement yesterday:
"hope you are HANGING IN THERE very strongly - or at least surefootedly (my vision here is sloth.  preferably 3 toed)."
!!! Hanging in there like a three-toed sloth!

Aww, what a great little sloth! Looking so secure and content. Was Sarah already aware of my long-time affection for the sloth? This picture was taken at the San Diego Zoo in September 2010, in the "prehistoric animals" section:


And just because it's so darn cute, here's a baby one:
