Ooh, I wish I were wrapping up my thesis right now and could be done a week from today. But that's out of the question. It would be so nice to be close to done. Oh well, I'm aiming to finish in the middle of June, and I think it's doable. I think I just have cabin fever from sitting in my room all week. Once I'm at work making forward progress again, time should just fly by!

I got to take the tegaderm (sticky plastic wrap) and gauze off of my incision this morning! Now I can almost see the stitches, except that I have a little tummy blocking my view :) Plus there are steri-strips on top of it. Those should come off later next week, and then I can stare at my soon-to-be-scar all I want! That's kind of a gross thing to do, huh? (I have, of course, been taking pictures of my incision every day, but I'm not sure if I'll post them online...I might be the only one who'd want to see such things)

Tomorrow's May! I love May! Too bad Patrick's leaving tomorrow, but at least we got lots of extra time together.
