Busy?

Sorry for the lack of posts. Been busy.

Actually, that's a lie.

When you go away for a week, there's usually a huge pile of things to
catch up on when you get back to work. When you go away for a month,
they figure out that other people have to do it or it'll get
ridiculous. So I didn't get back to a huge pile of work at all and I'm
not that busy.

I'm just procrastinating!

Work has actually been alright. I'm okay with it. At peace with it -
something like that. It's taken a long time, but even though I loved
the experience of presenting at an academic conference in China, my
experience there - meeting up with ex-colleagues and the such - made
me realise that I have it good in my current position. It's not so bad
to go commercial - and a lot of it is good.

I've also set a deadline to write up some more of my PhD research (or
cut and paste it) for publication (must do this while still slightly
motivated!). Plus, I've been involved in collaborating with some
non-profit and academic organisations - we've applied for a research
grant and whether we get it or not, it's been really nice to work on a
research project again. (I hope we get it!)

Hubby's business is coming along nicely. I have a choir concert in a
month's time. The roses are almost back in bloom. I have now written a
list of all the lovely people who I'm supposed to catch up with before
the end of the year and there's just not enough weekends!

Maybe I'll organise a Spring party at my house...
