I am so pooped!

I’ve spent the best part of the last eight days working on my 7000-word (9000 if you count footnotes) SOI paper, writing 2000 words for a grant application, and meeting friends for coffee and meals in the spirit of the Christmas season. While I’ve been getting enough sleep, my mind’s nevertheless been working overtime. It hasn’t stopped thinking, not even when I go to bed. Although I officially stopped work this afternoon at 15H, I can still feel my mind whirring… It will take a couple of days before I become well and truly rested.

On that note, I’m taking a break - I’m off to the glitz and glamour of Sydney again tomorrow. I’m there for 7/8 days this time. I need to unwind properly and then there’s the New Year celebration. I’m sure there will be more work to be done when I return to Canberra and it will be manic again, especially since I will be flying off to Malaysia shortly after that.

I’m winding this year and starting the next one with a manic series of work, pleasure and travel. The planets apparently promise a most exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding year ahead, starting right about now. I’m not so sure if it will be all that positive but I do know that it will be good.
