I am so close to being done with my thesis, I can almost taste it. Why then do I go through these periods of inactivity? I can make a lot of excuses and try to convince you, dear reader, that I have just been too busy to put pen to paper in the last two weeks, but they would all be hollow excuses. I have been busy, but not too busy to work. I have to say that I have been sucked in to this election in a very bad way, I find myself watching the new all afternoon and evening on some days…often yelling at the television like a crazy person! I have got to pry myself away and get some work done. Not only work on my thesis, but work on cleaning my house! The holidays are fast approaching and I just feel like I need to face them with a cleaner house.
Time management is the thing I need to work on most this week. My goal is to get a little writing and a little cleaning done every day this week. Then I can run off Saturday to the Civil War Reenactment in Moorpark and truly enjoy myself. Whitnie and Maggie… I promise I will not drill the poor doctor at the medical tent about Civil War medicine and yellow fever this year!
So, back to work this week! No excuses. I have two chapters still left to write…probably between twenty and thirty pages. This is not that difficult. I just need to get up off my butt and get back to work. In addition to that approximated thirty pages, I have to tackle my introduction and conclusion. Both will be entirely contingent on what these two chapters actually end up being. So, one thing at a time. Plan for today… a few pages and a dent in the mess that is my kitchen. Wish me luck!!
