Oh my actual bloody lordy.
I have finally finished editing this chapter. It has taken me hours and hours or gruelling, constant work. I am sick to death of it! The references were written before I had endnote but quite well so I didn't notice for ages and had to go back through them... then there were lots of references missing. A lot of the text was written the wrong way around so I needed to do lots of re-jigging which, we all know, makes my brain hurt. I have a bad memory and can never remember what it is I have just cut so I can find the right place to paste it... It was repetitive and at times rather polemical, was getting a bit shouty and over enthusiastic.
Anyway. I think it is a lot better now and has gone into my final PhD chapters folder. I am now onto chapter four, but not until Monday. If this chapter took me two days of solid work then that chapter might well take me three.
Sup has emailed to say he will have my intro and concl comments ready at the end of the week, so that will be my weekend work. So hopefully, come Monday I will be halfway through editing! With the abstract, intro, ch's 2 and 3, and conclusion under my belt... I think doing the intro and concl over the weekend is a good idea as I can only do short stints and can run away into the bosom of my family when it all gets too much.
And today has been magic because I have had three lovely thwumps from the baby. There really is a baby in there, am not just really fat :) This is a weight off my mind, I worry about this baby a LOT!
I have tomorrow OFF. Woot! I think... I hope I don't spend it in a mood because I feel anxious about work. Although I am with Bean so 'off' means being a firefighter and bossed around for the day. I hope to get him out and about. Speaking of which I have to go and collect him for once, am very much looking forward to getting some fresh air and a nice walk. Although it is windy, dark and freezing! Eek!
