In the spirit of ventilating my house, this is what I've been doing for the past four months:
This is my four month old son Colin, on my lap. I adore him.
As for the rest of my life, I started three things at the end of March:
- I went back to work after maternity leave
- I began the
slow-carb diet- I started working on Version 11 of my Master's thesis
Progress so far?
- Work is going pretty well. I planned an event that didn't suck. I've edited some things, and been to meetings that haven't sucked. I am getting projects done and able to make it home for most of baby's feedings, so that's good.
- I've lost eight pounds. That's pretty cool, but I have ten more to go. I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the ice cream and cookies I'm not eating.
- The thesis is ARGH. I have 15 of 28 edits complete, but the last 13 might kill me. I am presenting my research at a seminar tomorrow, and I feel ready. I would like to defend before my committee all goes on summer vacation, but that means I NEED to FINISH this revision. ARGH.
Also, we've been interviewing daycares and landscapers. Promising possibilities on both fronts.
That's what I'm up to. How's your April going?
