Cleanliness is ... worth it.

The past week has been relatively uneventful. I would once have been slightly annoyed by a week where little happened. Nowadays I’m grateful for the reduced requirements. It has meant I have been able to focus more on the myriad things I have already got to do.

Getting Started Again

For the past year, rather than writing these family updates, I have been writing a series of memories of growing up with Mum and Dad on my Sunday afternoons. Now that my year of memories is up, and after a far-too-lengthy break from writing regular updates, I am hoping to resume my regular habit of weekly entries. In addition to recording noteworthy events, I hope to focus my writing less about the day-to-day ‘things I did’ and emphasise what I have learned and what I am grateful for in my notes. I suppose the first thing I should note, though, is that my Ph. D. is finished. I received a high commendation from one of my examiners, and the total time required for making what few changes were suggested was less than half a day.
