rosaw | Thanks and Update (Reply)

Thank all of you guys for your kind words about my diss draft. I took Friday night off to play around at Disneyland (I was not on the roller coaster of doom). New Space Mountain is really extra cool and the 50th bday fireworks are pretty cool, too. Next time we have to have a better viewing space. Then Saturday the SO and I went on a hike with my now retired department chair/father figure. My legs are killing me but the air was cool, the sky was clear and the mountains were beautiful. Since I really haven't been outside much for the past six weeks, it was good to see some nature.

Today I was back in the saddle, proofreading and revising. I read the whole thing through and am now going to send it off to the adviser because I am out of time. Which pretty much harshes on my happiness about being done what with all the anxiety about what work she will find for me to do. But tomorrow opens up a 3 week period hectic craziness. Tuesday I leave for 4 day conference on teaching. Right after I come back my 15 year old niece is coming to visit. (You may wonder if I am crazy with the whole voluntary teenager encounter. And you're probably right.) Then I will have some time to turn my attention back to the revisions I know the adviser will demand. But this way if she has it the draft isn't just sitting on my computer being ignored. Still, sigh.

Thank you all the kind words and thoughts and support. I do have some powerfully wonderful friends and that makes me very happy and very lucky.
