While I was extremely sick a little over a week ago, I recognized that there was no way I could get any work done in that state. It did help me accept that I was going to lay on the couch with the AC, TV, and water for a few days. I had to tell myself not to get all stressed out about losing time that I could be using getting work done.
Then it seriously took me a week to feel normal after being sick. I was sleeping a lot and my stomach was weird and I felt like a bum.
Last Friday though. Friday, I finished a draft of one paper for my advisor and sent that off and I felt like a new person. Went hiking this weekend. Been eating like a pig, so I guess my stomach is good again.
Now this week I want to finish a draft of THE paper I need accepted to defend! Then Thursday, CF is coming and he's meeting my parents. It would be good to have the paper drafted before then and take another weekend off-ish.
Then next week, I'll just whip up an intro to my dissertation (about 10 pages of which are already written). It'll be great.

Congrats on the finished paper! Sounds like things are coming together. Good luck with the week's draft!
Whoops...that was me under a secret identity :) Oops.
Carolyn = fail at leaving blog comments :(
Hehehe...And you HAVE your PhD?!?! ;-)
I'm glad you're feeling better! :-)
Yeah, see? The PhD makes you dumber.
I wonder if having the big break actually gave you some needed rest and perspective to allow you to push to get those done?
Good job!
