I have been enjoying a really relaxing weekend with family and friends. I apologize if I haven't been keeping up with my posting, my emails and my Entrecard dropping. In addition to the roast turkey, duck and gluten-free pie that I have been devouring this weekend, I have also had a website design project to finish for a Jewelry business and I went to an awesome concert! It was a full weekend.
But don't worry. I have great pin-up of the week ready for you and she's coming later this evening. I would also like to let Sarah know, from beat black, and sabrina's charm from pixelgirlshop.com that I have been out all over Peterborough and Toronto sporting their fantastic, handmade, indie Jewelry and I get nothing but compliments. You guys are on the brink of fame, I am telling you!
Going home for the weekend only reminds me how much I miss it and makes me want to finish my PhD more badly than ever. Anyone out there who has ever felt that sense of urgency in a similar way so they can get back home to see their best friends children grow up and spend time with their family will understand how unimportant things like school and career can become when you watch the rest of your life pass you by.
On that note, it seems that I have been getting a lot of good energy from you guys because my thesis work went really well this week and I am certain that I am on track to finish this year, so I am going to keep working hard to finish! Cross your fingers for me that nothing goes wrong in the lab between now and then - I will definitely do the same for any of you that need support who are trying to get by in a strange place until you can get back home again.
To the Canadians, happy thanksgiving. To my other friends in the world, I hope that you enjoy the rest of your week!
