Time is ticking...

I am headed to Fairbanks tomorrow for the work week to meet with my advisor and work on my dissertation. My goal is to have a suitable draft of my analysis and analytical framework chapetrs to send to my committee by the time I leave. Of course I also had planned to have a rough draft mostly done of these two chapters before I even got there this time, but Things always get in the way...

The whole family has been sick this week. It was more like a domino effect: Jeremy started getting sick with a bad cold last weekend, had it bad Monday and Tuesday, and I started to get sick Monday and had it worst Tuesday. I got a bit better but kind of plateau-ed with a headache and sore throat for the rest of the week. Poor Emmy came down with it Wednesday and had to miss daycare the rest of the week. She had no voice last night, well it was sort of a croak, and is still coughing pretty bad. my poor baby!

One thing I have learned though is that things ALWAYS get in the way of writing, and the challenge is less about writing than it is about avoiding the obstacles that keep it from happening.
