it does make a difference

I've managed over 7.5 hours of uni work today, figured out the problem that had me stuck last night, and did a few more runs, still don't have solutions that I'm happy with, but it sort of feels like net progress. Towards the end of the evening I decided that since my templates are all set up for putting in the new graphs generated as a part of each run, I could start trying to organize some thoughts within the thesis itself discussing what I'm doing and in what manner it isn't yet working, and what may work based on the patterns showing up whilst the computer did the calculations in the background. That felt good, but did require substantially re-writing some of what had been written before. So when I realized it was midnight and perhaps I should be thinking about sleep instead and did a word-count, there were only 271 new words written for today. On top of two days in a row of zero words that sounded like a pretty pitiful total to report here, so I went back in a did a bit more typing. It is now pushing 01:00, but my word count for the day is up to 413, which if still not as high as recommended is somewhat less embarrassing to report than the 270 would have been. Over the past three days I've generated lots of different graphs, which will really help the figure list total, once they've been mentioned in the text...

Fortunately, I've read my 1000 words of geological literature today, and clovis_t and I have done our walk, so there is nothing left for me to do besides shut the computer down, do our yoga and get ready for bed...
