State of the hedjog
There was a certain hiatus after I got the ms off to my editor during which I went flump, pretty much.
Though will also add, the destressed state induced by my week at Grayshott was particularly enduring (even given the final onslaught on the ms before waving it off into the big wide world), to the point that I am, only just in the last week or so, but very much, noticing now the return of habitual stressy phenomena that had been absent for the best part of a month.
But, anyway, am catching up on various matters of life administration which had been on hold for rather a long time, only partly due to Textbook issues - e.g. somehow I had managed not to see my dentist for nearly 2 years, rather than only one.
Life admin is one of those rather layered things and has involved a massive amount of filing/discarding of papers and a start on shredding vast quantities of same surplus to requirements, making appointments, checking up on things, etc etc, and trying to fit things into my overall schedule (which also has a fair amount of bopping out to look at archives on site, etc, over the next month or so).
I have also, go me, sent off two abstracts of papers for conferences next year, one of which is a revised version of a paper I've been touting around and one of which is Entirely New Thing.

Does anyone else have that thing where you have an idea for a post, and it seems quite vivid and exciting, but then you get a bit distracted or have something that you ought to post first while it's fresh or timely, or simply because the first idea was one that perhaps you ought to give more thought to, and then when you do get round to it it's somehow faded and looks dull and banal?
I just had one of those.
