I took last weekend off and travelled home to see my Mum for Mother’s Day. It was an especially lovely visit because all of my siblings returned home as well. So along with spouses and kids it was a full house and there was lots of love and laughter.
This week has been very hectic at work and stressful on the family front due to some possibly very serious health issues. I am praying for good news on the health front and trying to be as supportive as I can. Because of these two factors my research progress was slow. I have taken some vacation days and so will have 5 dedicated days to get some traction on my research.
I am now in Day 2 of 5 and have completed the first task which was to revise the Data Analysis and Findings Chapter. My focus for the next three days will be on revising my literature review. I still have some reflecting and planning to do here, but I have a better sense of what I want to say about the literature now, which is very important. The biggest challenge is to cull because there is so much written on my central topics: gender, leadership, and the “glass ceiling”.
I am departing shortly to do some gardening. Weeds are taking over everywhere!! On a more fun note, I am also planning to see the new Godzilla this weekend with my partner. I hope that this is the first of many entertaining summer blockbusters because I love going to the movies and non-cerebral films are particularly satisfying these days!!
