Happy Teething! Happy Thinking!

Happy teething!

Last night it was difficult to calm down Tom, he's teething!

However, this morning he woke up smiling and has been in a very good mood all day, playing with one of his friends and, above all, with his new discovery: his feet! He can play with them (holding them in his hands, trying to chew on them etc.) for 30 minutes! If I had to do that I'd go bonkers after just about 7 minutes. We actually had a little competition. Of course, I lost.

I did much work for my dissertation today, though, interpretation-wise and reading-wise.

Sometimes I wish I could just call or email the authors of various articles that I have to read and thank them or scold them or ask them questions, questions, questions. Sometimes I do that, with varying results. 

Nonetheless sometimes it is VERY easy to take Tom as an excuse for not working ("He should be waking up any minute now, does it actually make sense to start reading this paragraph?" etc.), but then I look at the remaining 1,000 pages of the novel that I have to study closely and just KNOW it's not alright to make excuses.

That's why I stop writing now and read some more.
