Hey, I'm back with updates. So I'm half way through my course of Zovirax for my cold sore and it is definitely looking better so I can only assume it will be gone by this time on Thursday. As to my tablets, I'm almost 20% of the way through my new course, and feeling an improvement. The swelling and pain in my cheek and chin has reduced by about 40% (rough estimate). So yeah, I'm on the road to recovery. And, with the aid of my dad's wonderful pork chop roast dinner, I managed to finish the draft of my final dissertation chapter today too. I think I am onto a winning work formula here: morning out of the house to get my body moving and wake my mind up so I'm ready to face whatever needs to be done in the afternoon. And with the incentive of a movie/sweet treat in the evening (plus not having to cook - may need to figure that out when I'm back at uni) I have the necessary boost to get finished. And here was me thinking - like I said since I got home - that this holiday would ruin my work ethic; if anything, it's fixed it!
Today's 'incentive' by the way, was John Wick. My dad has been going on about it forever so, with my sister's word that it is good, I gave in and watched it. And I have to admit, despite the gratuitous amount of killing (which neither of us could keep a count of), it was a well shot, generously cast, and gritty piece of cinema (oh dear, the inner film critic is coming out). Not to mention the pretty epic soundtrack which included Marilyn Manson's Killing Strangers, a song from his 2015 album, The Pale Emperor. So yeah, including this morning's trip to a garden centre which yielded a cream tea and several pies (the apple ones we had for dessert and they were such crumbly pastry goodness), today has been good. My sister comes home tomorrow preevening (I've mentioned this already but you know I'm excited to see her) so I'm hoping that makes for a good day there too.
I will let you know how it goes.
