CV and Writing Samples and Speaking Samples, Oh MY!

[Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Sixty]

Regarding yesterday, I woke up in less pain, but more nausea.

And since I didn’t actually throw up, nor did my temperature spike, and I was actually able to press on the painful spot without screaming, I still haven’t called the emergency line back.

If there’s anything going on tomorrow, yes, I’ll call the doctor.

But first the news:

It was relatively easy to pull together my cv this time – after all, it’s been less than a year, and it was particularly good for the soul to add all those awesome new skills. What took longer was pulling together writing and speaking samples.
