Tage has been complaining of headaches for the past while, which is always a bit of a worry. I took him to the doctor a few weeks ago where they took some blood for testing and did a rudimentary physical. Having ruled out anything immediately wrong in a physical sense, they suggested that we take him for an eye exam. I half-expected that glasses might be the cure, but the exam this afternoon found that his vision is perfect. So, back to square one.<\/p>\n
After the eye appointment, he and I grabbed a quick dinner at Subway then hurried to his orchestra practice. It’s a nice break for me to sit and listen to the music — they’re surprisingly good — while I read a book. I’m nearly through Life after Life<\/i> by Kate Atkinson, and it is a terrific read. I love her style so much, and she’ll always be a favorite of mine if for nothing more than that she titled an earlier book Started Early, Took My Dog<\/i>. I can hardly think of a better title (or a better life philosophy, come to that). <\/p>\n
I really do need to stop reading fiction and get more serious about writing my thesis. A completed manuscript is due to my supervisor in two months, and I’ve written hardly more than two pages. Those pages are good, if I do say so myself, but it’s not much to stand on. I’ve set a goal of at least twenty pages — the entire thing is supposed to be seventy — by Friday the 14th. Ideally I’d like to have a complete draft by the end of this month, so that I can spend March polishing it up, but I’m aware that’s rather a lofty aim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
