I finished an abstract today, ahead of schedule, thus completing one of my recently self-assigned dissertation milestones. It was an incredible achievement on my part, right up there with my self-inflicted embargo of the Twilight series (I may not read until I’ve finished a draft). My work ethic — it boggles the mind.
All the work work work please don’t talk to me I’m writing work work laundry laundry make dinner work has made it very difficult to procrastinate, which means that I was unable to plan for a last-minute trip out of town. We were close to picking up and heading out to a tax-deductible, in-support-of-the-company weekend trip to Houston to go to the Ikea (356 miles away) to binge on cheap Scandavian furniture for the office. When Paul found out that they had BOTH a supervised children’s play area AND cooked ham with mashed potatoes for $6.99, he was ready to take off this afternoon. Unfortunately, responsibility found out and came knocking and finger-wagging. Sure, it’d be NICE to have books up off the floor and all, but the next year’s school fees and summer camp deposits are BOTH due at the end of the month. And the kids need shoes.
In the spirit of looking for creative ways to pay tuition… I’m I too old to sell my unused lady eggs? They are very effective.
