So today is a new day. I had some sleep and feel more with it today in general, hurrah.
I wrote down a plan of action for this chapter this morning (poor Beanie was stuck in front of cbeebies during this time) which helped clear my mind and break the work down into manageable chunks. I have worked out that I can do the contents page (tedious, time consuming but easy) in front of the tv tonight (Junior Apprentice to be precise) so get to watch tv and work, super. I have also worked out that I ought to do the nasty lit review stuff today and work out that knot as it is the sticking point for most issues in the chapter. Am dreading it but know it has to be done. A lovely walk in the crisp (freezing cold) to take Beanie to the childminer really helped clear my mind and get me motivated.
Am not really motivated, it is more that I am ploughing on with the knowledge that friday and saturday I just cannot work as I am looking after Beanie. I will work evenings but that won't be much. Sup is also expecting this work on Friday! I don't know how this will happen but will do my best.
Ooooooh as well, I had a horrible niggle yesterday about a section in footnotes that Sup thinks I should plump out and make proper in the chapter. I knew through my tired, stressy fog that I must have written it already somewhere and was edited out... which was why I was reluctant to get to work on it. And this morning after my walk I realised that I THINK it is in my first ever lit review (that was 14000 words hehe). I am so hoping I won't have to write but can copy and paste this old work! It was well written and everything. That will be a lifesaver. it would save a whole day of horrible writing from scratch.
We shall see
So, on with the lit review. I have lots of french fries crisps, yums yums and a delicious stir fry planned for dins so comfort food all the way today. Will sneak in a hot choc too. You might think I would be reet fat with all my munching but, bizarrely, I haven't put on any weight even tho am preggo :) Wonderful stuff - must be the walking to the childminders four days a week!
I tell you, when you get to this stage the ONLY motivation is the fact that you are so bloody nearly there. There is no choice but to keep plodding on. But I tell you, if I knew about all this when I started... oooooh! Am delighted I feel this way though because I haven't yet and is a sure sign am near the end. The more it hurts the closer I am! (hehe is a bit like labour!!)
