Finishing.
So, I think at long last I've finally finished my PhD thesis for good.
It's taken far too long, between work and health problems and the stress of looking after other people going through tough times as well. But it was sent in to the Postgrad Office yesterday, and once they're back from the Christmas/New Years break they'll process it, and send it on to the library.
I'm now at that point of trying to work out what to do with the thesis-shaped hole in my life, and remember just what used to go there. I'm sure I had a social life once, and hobbies. This close to the holidays is hard because I'd usually at least be doing something with family but Dad's busy this year and everyone else is out of town, and no one else I know seems to have anything open invite this year. I guess it's time to fill the quiet with music and computer games.
The secret, as always, is to unwind without completely unravelling.
