The Now: May 31, 2023

Nothing like the kiddo having a probable case of conjunctivitis 24-hours before you leave for a work conference turned long-needed parents-only beach weekend to really scramble your schedule.

We lucked out and were able to nab an early morning pediatrician appointment tomorrow. Even if she's home, we should be able to leave when planned. In some ways, the timing on this is fine. The grandparents are coming to town to help so we at least have childcare. (And it's not like they would complain about extra time with their grandchild.) This has just made it a logistical dash to see what needs to be rearranged (plus what, now, needs to be laundered) before we head out of town.

Here's what I'm working on:
  1. Finalizing Slide Decks: TILC presentation on Friday and CALM presentation as soon as I get back into the office on Tuesday. I wanted these decks all set before we hit the road so that I don't have to think about them. TILC was easy - just a few adjustments. CALM was more work. I had to add some alt-text, check accessibility, and really flesh out my notes. I think it's all set and I should be able to give a solid presentation on Tuesday.
  2. Faculty Research Assignment Design: We finished the first look at cross-walking our codes to the ACRL Framework. We also looked at some simple analysis charts of code usage, dominance/frequency, and co-occurrence. Now we're working on lit review material and fleshing out an outline with evidence for our first paper. While this stuff is even more wibbly-wobbly than actual coding, I find it far more enjoyable. Now we're really digging into the data. So many ideas of where to go with this!
  3. Life Management: I'm finally starting to tackle some platform reduction, file renaming, and "adulting" paperwork for the kiddo. I'm not working on any one single project. I'm sort of flitting between what I have time for and what my brain can focus on at the moment.
