In the spirit of enthusiasm and optimism, I've labelled today a "2" (referring to how well I feel the day went). I seem to be reaching a wall, both mentally and physically. One reason I am posting this evening (and the reason I am home before it's dark) is because I am starting to feel sick. Now I was careful this past weekend (when visiting family) to get a decent amount of sleep and last night (when I returned to Bozeman) I fought off the instinct to go into work. However, despite my conservative attempts, I still worry I am coming down with something.
My work in the lab is slowly progressing. Today we tried a fresh approach to our problems from last week, but arrived at the same dead-end. We have a couple emails out to the equipment manufacturer, hoping for some insight, but with those folks in Germany responses are delayed. We have a couple workarounds in mind, but we're waiting for a response before we move in any direction. All the while I lose measurement time. Also, it doesn't help that today makes 100 days until my thesis submission. Right now I am so focused on the work at hand (which isn't working) that I am not feeling confident in my thesis.
For now I hope a long night's sleep and a fresh attitude in the morning will help see things move along.
