Today was the first day in a few months where I didn’t have to be somewhere and didn’t have to be doing something… it felt weird.
As much as I’ve loved the freedom my job gives me, I have to say I’ve been enjoying the structure of work these past couple of months – knowing what I had to do and when is restrictive, but it gave my head a breather from having to constantly push itself to do things.
I had intended to go and sort some stuff out with my university, but that didn’t quite pan out, so instead I headed back home to have a shower, watch a film, and do a little bit of work. It was cold in the house but the day went quickly before having to go back have dinner at the in-laws and take the little one home.
I guess there is some sort of structure to my days – I am still required to fit a certain amount of hours into the time between dealing with my daughter, and somewhere in that I’ll have to squeeze my PhD. Seems unlikely, doesn’t it?
