Today is Tuesday.
Bean is in childcare and I have the house to myself for the first time in a week.
I am exhausted from simply getting up.
I am motivated but... I am also enjoying this lovely quiet downtime :) The space! The freedom! ahhhhh.
Sometimes (usually) I feel alone when I am home, ahem, alone, but today I just feel wonderful contentment. Away with you family! Leave me be with your irascable demands!
However, this is not conducive to work. I am simply enjoying existing too much to ruin it with working.
I have done some work this morning and endeavour to do more. However, I am just being a bit thick today. I am really very tired and need my wits about me to work out how to paraphrase my lit review into my intro. I do not have faith that these wits are actually anywhere near and I will spend all day trying to go uphill backwards. I am also feeling complacent and I have no right to at all but it just is one of those days when the child in my head wants to play and the grown up is just standing by, reading a book. I need the grown up to step in, goddamn. Focus the child!
Sooooo. Today it is probably best not to set big targets or expect big things. However, today can be a good day still. I have three hours of lovely time.
I have to think about what I like to achieve.
Off to do 10 mins. And it really will be 10 mins, as today I am a Bit Thick.

I have to think about what I like to achieve.
- I am worried about how much reorganising my lit review from 13000 to 4000 words is actually going to be re-writing it. This is really worrying me; I did hope (think/presume) it would be a case of just chopping out the rubbish. I think maybe today I should read through all of it and check that this really isn't the case. It will take much longer if it isn't the case. I don't want to read through it.
- I have to think about the basic structure of my revised lit review. What are the key points I have made in the long version and can I just edit text around those in the new version?
Off to do 10 mins. And it really will be 10 mins, as today I am a Bit Thick.
