Last weekend took my niece to the ballet as a birthday present.

Elaize the Sloth
Antarctic Vortex
Everyone’s a bit cold this weekend. South Australia’s not too bad, but over in the Eastern states it’s a bit chilly, complete with “thundersnow“. I’ve spent the day inside: had a sleep-in, did some laundry, tidied the house, and baked a couple cakes for the boy’s birthday week this week. Tonight we’re heading out for dinner with his family, so hopefully it isn’t too windy and miserable out there! The best thing about wild and “woolly” weather is being able to stay in my comfortable, warm bed, and listen to the wind and rain outside.

Sad things happened this week.
Few bad and sad things have happened this week.
In my world, someone close to me crashed her car on Wednesday. She’s okay, relatively speaking, but needed surgery on a broken bone last night. So I visited her in hospital this afternoon and will go again tomorrow morning. Hopefully she gets better quickly. I chose this little sloth (Monster, courtesy of Primatography) to post today, because she is holding a pair of glasses, which reminded me of this person who I treasure so much.
In the wider world, we woke up to the terrible news this morning of the tragic passing of Phil Walsh, coach of the Adelaide Crows AFL team. The boy was particularly affected by his death, as he is quite close to the Club. What a horrible thing to happen.
…Things like this just make you remember how precious life is. It should never be taken for granted.
I nom you now.
Another day off
Well my boss gets back this week. And I’ve actually got some experiments planned. So I’ll have to show my face a bit more now, after having at least a day off a week for the last three weeks. It’s been good to have some recharging time; I’ve slothed it a little bit, getting some things done in terms of chores and writing, but mostly just taking it easy. The boy’s been a bit jealous. (Sorry honey!) 
Criminal sloths
I’ve been binge-watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix. It’s sooo good! Need to slow down though (and that’s not meant to be a sloth pun) because I’m going to run out of episodes soon, and there’s nothing else in my line-up!
What you do
I am a coconut
CAN’T HANDLE
So, I know I’ve been SUPER SLACK with the blog this last month 
Just say it, I was being very SLOTHFUL. A lot, and yet not a lot, has happened!
Now that I’m getting towards the end of my PhD, I’ve been spending days at home here and there writing my thesis and making adjustments to it. I had my third journal article accepted (woot!) and so that basically completes my thesis by publication. Just putting it all together and getting it edited, etc. When I do go into the lab it isn’t for very long days anymore, although I am still doing a little lab work.
The boy and I also booked a tropical holiday for when I finish, in just over a month! Can’t wait! After that… well stay tuned 😉
To make up for my severe sloppiness in posts this month, here’s an adorable lil babeh sloth (Chuck, again, how CUTE is he..!?) from Primatography to keep you all happy.
