Varied Understandings…
It has been gnawing at me as to why I am irritated with the people staying with me – or rather the husband. He’s lovely – no doubt. Yet, each time he talks to me I feel annoyance. This morning, it dawned on me or at least became a little bit clearer: *I am not…

Getting Settled in Old Age…??
It was a nice weekend and I even managed to get a bit of work done – never enough – and relax too! 😀 Now, it’s time to get back to it. Need another chapter out in the next couple of days and have to just settle in to it. Will be heading off to…

TGIT After a Marathon Day!
Phew, am so glad that today is nearly over. I had a very big day of analyzing and reading, which was very much what I needed to end the week on. So, I am feeling pretty goooood. I came home and did about an hour of exercise – treadmill and weights/stretching. Then, I had breakkie…

A Little Stalled…
Well, today has been a bit of an up and down kind of day. The positives are that I read two chapters of a book, checked out five more books from the library, started to read the chapter to be revised, had a good swim this morning, enjoyed a much-needed massage, and will be going…

Revising & Analyzing
It’s been a bit slow-going in this next part of my PhD work, but today I submitted a second revised chapter. So, that’s progress. Now I’m at a bit of a conundrum….

Routines
If we know anything about Tara, we know that she likes her routines. It’s taking a bit of time to adjust back into one, BUT, it seems that we are getting there. 😀 Some changes were needed to be made, though… *Deleted Candy Crush from all mobile devices *Setting boundaries on checking FB and emails…

Progress!!!!
Ok, so I know I promised posts on my summer travels, but I am trying to juggle focusing on my PhD and enjoying summer still. At the moment, it is going well, but the posts may not come for a while yet. In any case, after three days (one day longer than hoped), I managed…

Normalcy Returning….
Wow, it’s been a while! Oops – been busy enjoying my summer holidays and now settling back in to a routine of sorts. It has taken me a few days to get over jet lag and to reset my apartment after having someone stay while I was gone. 🙂 Anyway, will try to start updating…

Woooohoooo!
The academic year is just about complete. There are just a few odds and ends left, but overall everything has gone pretty smoothly. I am soon ready for it to be finished. I did not quite meet my dissertation goals, though which is a bit disappointing, but my own fault. However, I will not despair…
