Oh I am so happy! So happy, happy!
I am back at my desk, no Bean, no housework, nothing but me and my lovely work. I have to say I have been a miserable wench since I finished yesterday afternoon, been pretty stressy and snappy with poor beanie. Not because I am worried or anything, but just because I am itching to get one with it!
This week I want to have the intro and concl chapters done. The next two weeks I have to finish editing the remaining 6 chapters. Then I have two days off for xmas, and then five days to do the bibliography and prelims and to feel ok about sending it off. I think this should be ok if I get my head down. Well, it has to be ok as I have to submit on the 31st of this month! :) Can't wait. It really is very motivating!
I was told today that my Beanie might get whooping cough as his playmate at the childminder's has it :( I am VERY worried about this as Bean has had a dry cough the past two days which is a symptom. This would be horrendous for him. It would also be horrendous for work as I would need to be with him full time. Obviously I am more concerned about him tho and determined to get as much done while I can. This cough is awful and is all the rage at the mo. It makes littl'uns sick they cough so much :( Am very worried. TBH once I have this week out of the way with the re-writes of the intro and concl (such as they are) I will be ok - the rest is all editing that I can try and do late in the night etc. Boring, time consuming but not a huge amount of brain work (no new writing :)) I could look after him and do this (have no choice!). Fingers crossed he hasn't got it.
I did lots of xmas shopping online last night so that won't worry me. I just need to focus - I have a ridiculous amount of distractions and for once I don't want them!
Anyway. I am whiny and grumpy. I am going to get a coffee, some comfy trousers (am sore as hell from trudging my 17 week preggo arse up to the childminder's and back in black ice. All the puddles looked like, well, puddles, but were ice!) to support my bump and sit and edit, edit edit. I have two days for the intro. On y va!
