I’ll spare you all the gory details (well, really I’m sparing myself retelling them one more time), but I will say that my grant application was ultimately submitted and accepted. Now, it’s wending its way through the inner workings of the peer review machine and I should hear something back in… a while?

In the meantime, there’s plenty to do — I’ve started doing some contract work again to pay the bills, I’m working on my business in the background, and of course there’s no shortage of other projects to keep me busy.
