You'd think there wouldn't be a lot of intellectual energy required for the re-formatting of text that was good enough to be published. WRONG. I'm struggling with getting graphs to be the right size to be pasted into a document, having to re-create them, and get error bars back on them and generally HAVING TO THINK. Its not the sinecure I was hoping for.
We went out to the library last night, and I saw a book on learning to ride (horses) as an adult. And I thought to myself "Why am I ditzing around dancing, and quilting and generally doing things I would like to do but aren't life long ambitions WHEN I HAVEN'T LEARNT TO RIDE YET????" They say you should never let yourself get old with regrets for stuff you wish you had done, so I'm finally going to get serious, and do something about this. Next year, when I have some money. I've wanted to ride horses ever since I can remember, and its time I stopped dreaming and started making the dream a reality. I've attempted so many times, and made some progress, but this time I'm going to have regular lessons, and learn to sit a canter. Because I'm going to relax sufficiently to let my hips open up. Dangnabbit. I am. If I can get a PhD, I can do THIS.
(Sorry about the shouting, I'm really shouting at me, but it looks like you can hear me doing it...)
