Coming soon: mental break!

Both Friday and Saturday, for the first time in several months, I didn't do work on any homework or thesis writing. It was blissful, exciting, and the mundane was really, really fun.

On Friday, once I got work out of the way, I met friend LLC at the gym for a indoor run and chatty walk. I rushed home and baby A from down the block came over for evening babysitting. Friend LEH joined me for babysitting, conversation in between baby management, and for a late dinner thrown together. After baby A went to sleep, husband and I worked on packing details for our upcoming European adventure.

Saturday I brought my car in for new tires, husband and I went to book stores to buy a few travel books we had decided on and then to half-price books for books we can discard as we travel. I rushed to meet LLC and fellow BM for bridesmaid dress shopping for an hour (pretty darn successful!) before heading to a spring frisbee game (brrr!). Spent time with friends A&B last night and had yummy pizza.

Today, I was back at thesis writing but with some breaks. This morning I submitted one of my final papers and tonight I will send my rough drafted thesis to my graduate adviser. After Tuesday when I present my thesis to the staff at work and present with my action research project to my Tuesday night class, I am home free! Although I know I have to come back from European vacation ready to write, I am very ready for a break.
