Days until Thesis is complete

So according to my rough estimate there are 112 days left until the thesis is complete. Sean told me that he would be defending mid Feb so I did my calculation based on Feb 18th. We'll keep this little calculation between me and my readers, since I know Sean doesn't read my blog.

So I suppose 112 more days of doom. I say doom because this is the most stressed I have ever seen him. He isn't sleeping well and can't stop thinking about his thesis. Watching him go through this just reaffirms my plan to not ever do a thesis. I occasionaly bring work home or think about work from home, but rarily do I lose sleep over work. I hope to keep it this way!

So keep your fingers crossed that Sean can get his rough draft done before New years and defend on time!

left ya hanging

No I'm no on day 57 of no power... I got busy again and never got back to the blog. Although apparently one of my very dedicated readers continued to check it and post me comments on my last post.... I won't mention any names.....

We did end up being 4 days without power. The power went off Sunday 12ish and didn't come back on until 9pm Wednesday. Flushing toilets with buckets of water and boiling water on the grill to do dishes in the dark was getting mighty old. We lost tons of food from our refrig and freezer. The only saving grace was that our USAA home owners insurance ended up giving us 250 dollars to replace our food. We didn't have to meet our deductible or file a claim or anything. I love USAA!

Things are back to normal. Sean is a crazy busy mess with his thesis and I'm still being super house wife. I'm just counting the days until he is finished! Actually perhaps I should start a real count and just not telling him so it doesn't stress him out.....
