Seriously though, you go girl.

You know my secret!

I am happy!

Today the shop crossed the $1,000,000 sales threshold.

But even better, we got to close after that goal was met.

Then, I went to the store and got groceries for dinner tonight. Twill is on her way and I'm making sirloin steak, with sauteed mushrooms and onions, roasted potatoes, steamed artichokes with hollandaise, and caesar salad. I've already opened the bar with a bourbon on the ROUND rock (singular). Later, we'll have a nice Shiraz with dinner. What happens after that can only be better.

Happy!

Thanks dude.

Griff, you have such a lovely family. And they have a fine, capable, talented, devoted, competent father and husband. No wonder life's good in Griffotopia.

Bravo!

What V said is all true, and you may be slightly embarrassed by the accolades, but this doesn't negate your annoyances or right to bitch about them. Rag on, rag on!!

I'm on it. Was working at it from 9am to 8pm today with two breaks to walk the dog.

You go, Doctor Dani...

[orthodoc]

Keep at it, Dani, you'll do it ... a page, a para, a citation at a time.

It seems it'll never be done, and then at last, it's done ...
You'll get there. Keep on, you're almost there.

I got a Survival Kit last night. From a femalegirlwoman.

The Survival Kit

A stick of gum, to remind you to stick with it;
A Kiss, to remind you that you are loved;
A match, to light your fire when you feel burned out;
A Tootsie Roll, to remind you not to bite off more than you can chew;
A Smartie, to help you on those days when you don't feel so smart;
A Starburst, to give you a burst of energy when you don't have any;
A Snickers, to remind you to take time to laugh;
A bag, to help you keep it together, and give you food for thought;
And, most importantly, a candle, to remind you that you can brighten up someone's day.

[xoxoxoBruce]

That must have made your day, Grav.

[DanaC]

That's awesome Grav ;lol.

Re: Doctor Dani - not quite yet. It all kind of collapsed and went into meltdown this morning - a little under two days working, without a break and without sleep and it wasn't ready - I had a computer mishap and lost two current chapters - not entirely, I had the previous versions but had to start reconstructing and redoing - and then the thesis template was a nightmare and ate my graphs and tables then spewed them back out in a random fashion - so the had to go etc. etc.

So, there I was an hour away from the last possible time that i could email a copy to the printers, and I had no finished conclusion, no graphs and tables, no acknowledgement page or contents, virtually no bibliography and a bunch of missing footnotes that I'd spent hours sorting out before losing the work.

Thankfully my supervisor is awesome and even more thankfully was answering his emails straight away. I mailed him to warn him that i was essentially submitting a partially complete thesis (better to hand in something incomplete than not hand in anything at all). He got straight onto the exam people and next thing I know he's sorting out a 2 week extension.

Still a fair old whack of work to do - but doable and I'll be handing in a thesis that better reflects the amount of work I have put in :P

Currently on 273 pages. Gonna have to tighten up a bit to get the bibliography and tables in without going over the 300 page limit

Am now feeling really upbeat - but drained. almost 2 full days mainlining coffee and baileys (:p) and staring at screen and books and papers.
I'm having the evening off. And I am going to turn off the comp and giove my eyes a rest so I can hit it fresh tomorrow morning

I came in here though because I wanted to say how happy my dwellar friends make me. I swear to dog, you guys keep me borderline sane.

[lumberjim]

That's nice, Diggr

made me a little happy too

Smart.

Don't get sucked in to anything. Go to bed early. Hit this in the morning with fresh eyes and a clear head.
