Busy

I have no idea why I feel so busy. I have had a fair amount of free time at home, so that's not the issue. Maybe it's because I didn't get enough time to sleep in this past weekend which has made me feel a little moody at the moment. *shrug*. Speaking of this past weekend, I got up early and Diane and I went down to help my friend Jon build a deck in his backyard. We didn't quite get it all done, but we made some really good progress. They provided us with some really good lunch (homemade paninis!) and supper which was really nice.

On Sunday, I returned a picture frame I had got from Ikea which meant a big trip down to the southside. My mom and I took my sister down for a harp gig at the Coast Terrace Inn, and while she was there we did the return and stopped at Indigo books where I used a gift certificate I originally received for Christmas last year. I picked up Angels and Demons, the sequel to The DaVinci Code and a book called The Professor, The Banker and The Suicide King which is about an amateur poker player who has a bankroll that he can use to play against professional poker players for crazy high stakes. Should be some good reads.

So both days this weekend I didn't get a lot of sleep which is adding to the not much sleep I got all last week ... and the trend seems to be continuing. I think I'm gonna need to get myself to sleep sooner one of these nights!

My thesis has come a long way over the last week. This week, the progress has been much slower but I've still managed to get quite far. There are some less pleasant sections to write yet though (because they are more technical and harder to write), so hopefully they don't take too long.

With regards to the changeover of this blog, it appears that everything made the switch okay. If you see anything odd, let me know though! I want to spend some time playing with the layout - I'm not sure if it'll be a complete redesign or not, but we shall see. Suggestions are always welcome of course!
