Busy bee

Hello there, hello,

I have been working already this morning... I decided that the head-in-the-sand approach I had yesterday was not going to endure today so opened up my chapter and gamely read through the introduction that I have sent my Sup. And it is pretty ok. I was starting to panic that it was all awful and derivative and pointless, and that Sup will email to let me know this later. However, it is just fine and yes, it may be derivative, but I would think this because these ideas are so old and ingrained in my head I can't remember if they are original or not. So there.

I expect him to get back to me today. This makes working hard because I am reluctant to work on something that he may tell me to stop working on or tell me it needs serious revision. However, I will have to halt these negative thoughts and just get on with it. Have some faith. Anything that I write will be useful somewhere in the PhD anyway, even if, eventually, not in this chapter.

Plus I said I would have a lot of work for him by tomorrow avo. Eek! This means I have to spend this morning revising the agency synopses I did last week which is BORING and I am sick of it. I would rather move on to the analysis. But I will be sending him these synopses for sure and they are 5000 words worth so better be readable!!

I went for my run last night! I really, really, really didn't want to at all. I had run two miles and I was tired and bored and just realised that I still had another mile to go, then had to do it all again on the way back and wondered if I would make it... But I did, in record time even! So I have now run nearly half of a half marathon... and was too tired... It is going to be HARD. Really hard. Today my shins, thighs, back, arms (arms?!) shoulders - everything - hurts. I did that long hike on Sunday too so am sore from both of these activities. I am meant to be going for a 2 mile run tomorrow but I think I would be better off skiving that and going to the pool for a brisk half hour instead - take the weight off my ankles and shins.

So today, today...

I will revise the writing I have done so far. And then move on! No exercise today so will stay at my desk until 6.

I hope my Sup is nice about my work! *bites nails*
