topsy turvy
So after waiting an entire month to get my edited thesis returned to me, I got it on Monday and was supposed to return the edited version back by Thursday night. BUT... it has been the strangest week. It feels like everything that could go wrong, did, and I have spent all of my time trouble shooting instead of editing and I'm still not done! I was so unimpressed about having to wait a month that I feel horrible and hypocrtical that I keep pushing my 'return edits' deadline back now.
I was making really good progress tonight until I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I was happy to discover that I wasn't seeing things, but not impressed to see a mouse! I've never had house mice before and I was hoping to keep it that way. An epic midnight battle ensued where I pulled out my stove and fridge to chase the mouse out, container in hand. After about an hour of peek and boo, the mouse made a run for it to my bathroom and then disappeared. At least it was cute?
A happy thing I did today, although still strange in its own way... I went horse back riding! My saddle was falling off and I was sitting on an angle, my horse tried to eat every 5 steps, and it ran down a hill (through the bush) - I thought I was going to fall off and got hit in the face by several tree branches. Even with those challenges, I had fun overall! I would go again, but not for a long time. My body needs time to heal from the bruising - it really hurts to sit down.
This is one of those weeks that I will laugh about in the future.... far in the future...
