Student sloth no more!
Today I SUBMITTED MY THESIS!!
That’s it! I’m PhDONE!! I now have to wait a couple months to hear the result. SUCH a good feeling. Little Slumbert climbed my mountain of theses (?thesises?) this morning before I finalised everything. 
I haven’t posted a lot recently as I’ve been trying to finish it all off.
I have two days left at the lab. I cleaned off my lab bench on Monday, and a colleague swooped in that afternoon to claim it (I had an awesome window seat). Everything is now either in a box to take to my new job, or at home. I had a secret hoard of free stationery from trade displays – no way was I sharing that!
This weekend I’ve booked a flight to Bali, but the volcano Mt Raung is being a big pain in the ASS. Would love to be able to just change all the bookings but probably we would lose money in the process. Will have to wait and see at this stage, and try and change it in the meantime. So I should be looking forward to my holiday but it’s all very uncertain at this point. Anyway.
But today was a GOOD DAY. I submitted, I got fairy floss for lunch, and then I went home and binge-watched Mad Men (I finished OITNB). The boy is taking me to dinner tonight – I think I’ll have a couple glasses of bubbly to celebrate!!
August Sloths
It’s August! And you know what that means? A new month = a new sloth! This time it’s the oh-so-adorable Velcro. Who we know from A Little Book of Sloth. But one of them is flipped, take a look!

Comfortable and figure-hugging
Facing the dreadful task of jeans shopping this afternoon. The annual chore of finding new ones is upon me, as I wear them out so quickly ( I wear them almost every day to work).
It’s up there with bikini shopping and boots shopping on my hate list of clothes purchases. And I don’t think I’m alone in this!

Doza and I are all ready for the Showdown today! Who will win?
CARN THE PEAR
Party Party Party!
Last night the boy and I celebrated his birthday with drinks with a lovely bunch of people. It was great to catch up with all of them.
Life is better when you surround yourself with positive people!
Vaccinations. Injections. Immunisations. Shots. Boo.
Today had three injections, one in each arm and one in my thigh, for three vaccinations to build immunity against six different diseases.
Of course, the injections sucked, and I’m now a bit achey, but it’s for a good reason – going overseas in three weeks! And I did get a lollypop, sooo…
One of the shots was the Flu vaccine, to hopefully prevent against the same thing happening to me as little Norm here…
Banquet Beans
Went out for a midweek Banquet dinner to say farewell to a coworker and friend who is moving back home tomorrow, overseas. So much food! It was all amazing.
