State of me update

My thesis is all-but-done. I'm awaiting my supervisor's final-final comments and her blessing to submit, and I hope to have that in hand by the end of next week - which is to say, the end of the month.

Physically, I'm pretty run down. I've just come off a fairly lingering chest infection and an autumn-winter of sickness after sickness, with an ankle ligament problem complicating all my other issues. The ankle ligament problem seems to be improving - slowly - although I suspect it'll be another six months before I can run on it, if I don't throw myself into any setbacks.

Mentally, emotionally? If I'm not completely burned out, I'm right next door. I hate everything and everything is difficult, and I have a difficult time focusing enough to read anything with a solid narrative through-line or watch anything at all. I need to wrap up the review I owe by Friday and then probably write in to everyone else to whom I owe things that I'm broken and that I won't be able to hand in work for them until I'm fixed.

Which is a damn shame because in addition to being broken, I'm also broke. But the sooner I take a break the quicker I'll get back on the damn horse.
