I figured it all out

. . . and it is all my fault.

I get "blah" about things when I don't eat as well as I should, don't exercise as much as I should, and don't give myself any time to unwind and digest. And, in the past week, I have been guilty of all three on numerous occasions.

But, in the interest of being positive, I have done some good things for myself too. For instance, I had lunch out with friends twice and found a nice (read: simple and easy) yoga/pilates in home routine to start doing I days I don't have time to or don't feel like walking. And, next week I WILL eat better.

On another note, the research is coming along a little better. I still don't love it today, but at least I feel like I have some reasonable results and some good predictions to discuss. I think I will feel better about it when this presentation is over and I start the the third stage of the project.

(Actually, in a side note to the side note, I don't even want to think about how long my master's thesis will be when it comes time to get it written. I haven't even completed a whole semester's worth of grad work and I'm ready to start on a third stage!?! The first stage was my undergrad thesis, the second is this data I'm working with now, three will be additional Prosimians, four will be fossil Adapiformes, and (if I'm lucky?) five will be 3-D scanned data. Oy Vey! I'd better start writing now!)
