a few days off means time to work
In Sweden both the Friday before and the Monday after Easter are public holidays, and the Thursday before most businesses are only open the first half of the day. Since we had the days off and would be free to hang out, C came up from Göteburg to spend time with us. She will actually be here two full weeks, and intends to use the time we are at work to make time on her studies for the distance courses she is currently working on.
However, even though we have a friend over and it is time to work on projects (my dress is nearly done now!), I am still finding a bit of time to work on that paper from my research when I was in Italy. By getting up way too early in the morning and doing a couple of hours while they are still asleep, but at least it is something. Today I wrapped up a section of the paper, and sent what I have to my co-authors in Italy for their feedback. Assuming they don't make time to look at it till after Easter this means I can enjoy the rest of these days off without feeling guilty about not working on that project any more.
