Exhausted, but optimistic...

22 October 2019: What a day. Three important meetings, some very good progress on some important fronts. Can't remember ever being this mentally exhausted and overwhelmed. I feel like an exposed nerve at times. I am constantly giving myself out loud (quiet) chiding remarks and pep talks. But I think we (me and some of the excellent folks I work with) made some progress today. That feels good.
