Two things making me happy today:

1st - I put in a solid three and a half hour stint working with my primary source materials. Did about 1000 words worth of truncated notes (should build out into a 2-3000 when written up properly). That's the first non-deadline induced university work I've managed to get my head into since before Dad died. I feel I reconnected with my dissertation subject. I actually rather enjoyed it. It was peaceful and productive and unpanicked. More of my work should be like that. If I can just reign my attention span back towards an adult norm and away from what is currently the attention span of a 5 year old (unless I am vanished into a TV programme - Dexter and BSG I can concentrate on...)

2nd: As a reward for my hard work, I arranged a Double Dexter session with J. That was a fun evening!
