RE: Papillon took two Hive members on a tour.

No problem, and when love is in the air, one's time flies out of the window You are right, as the two main things that need to regard as priorities, should be your soul mate and the PHD. Too much fiddling around with other stuff will only result in some major problems later on.
Re-evaluation is always a good thing, as the one can keep a finger on the pulse of life.
Time is racing lately for all of us, and it's unreal how quickly a day passes. We are fine and I hope that you guys are also well. Time is indeed of the essence.

Here is a perfect example of how time just flies. I was tasked with marking a bunch of essays (which was not planned - the lecturer kind of dropped a bomb on me there); the University of Pretoria asked me to do a small online lecture/seminar; and the PhD thing... All of this contributes to me being so late with this reply. I always say I am sorry, I should get that on a T-shirt!
For sure, if the PhD is done and off of my back, things will for sure return to a more "stable normality". I think I will be taking a leave of absence for a while after the submission of that document. It is crazy how things just do not want to settle down. At least by staying busy, I am staying out of trouble and away from politics! So that must count for something. I hope that time treated you and your wife well!
It sounds like a bit of use and abuse here, but I know that you can handle it, and it would be very dangerous for your future if you were to refuse the extra work.
Good idea once that you are qualified to take a sabbatical, as it will draw you out of the constant rigmaroles required by studies, and hopefully re-establish a bit of normalcy in your life again. I am sure that you will find something else to keep you busy !LOL

The inevitable (smallish) burnout has arrived, hence the two-week delay in answering your reply. What a couple of weeks. The papers are marked, but I am dead tired. The PhD is slowly coming along, but with all the extra marking and so on, I really need a break. I am flying to Pretoria tomorrow, hopefully, I can rest a bit up there with my girlfriend.
A couple of interesting offerings have come across the table though, some overseas opportunities and local research work. I hope that this week or two up north will help a bit! How are things with you? Once again, I am so sorry for the long silence.
Yep! That's why I left you alone, as I knew that you have a lot to do. A little break will do you a world of good. Marian asked me yesterday how you were doing with the PhD and I said that I would tell her when you contact me again. Now she has her answer.
The interesting offerings sound great, but you have to bide your time, as a lot of water still have to run into the sea. So, be happy, but don't stress about it as I am sure that the Lord will guide you. I think the week or two will be very good for you.
Things are okay with us, and I am working on a project paper for the bakery. Discussed it today with a great guy and things are starting to look good at last.
No apologies needed as I understand.
And they did it again. At the start of the week I get yet another email telling me what I need to do; things not covered in the original job offer. Alas, I made it out. But the week or two of rest is now gone because this; the whole "taking things slow" transformed into yet another week of extremely hard work! But alas, we are young and I think I made it through the toughest stretch.
For sure, but the interesting offering rides on the PhD, so that is cool. I might have the opportunity to get some overseas exposure, and to do some "serious" research for an author based here in Cape Town as well. All linked to the PhD. So that is cool, but as we all know, plans can change drastically! But as you said, all is in the Lord's hands, we can merely listen and do our best.
I am super happy to hear that things are going good! Especially with the bakery as well. And I am glad that you can relay the information to Marian. My soon-to-be-more-than-a-girlfriend will be visiting soon (June/July) then we will definitely meet up again. Looking forward to it already!
Shame man, I know how it feels after time away and the mountain of work that results in the interim. But as you say, you are still young and great that you can pick up the experience now, as then you will be prepared for the much work that you will still have to do.
Things are looking up for you and the PhD will unlock many new doors for you. I look forward to calling you Doctor and of course then I will push you to become a Professor. Just take care that research for the author will not interfere with your work. It sounds interesting. And I repeat that you will be guided from Above.
Working on it all of the time as a sideline, even though Papillon will not make any money out of the bakery, as a part of it will be free to the communities, and the rest will have to pay the overheads.
I am still waiting for a wedding invitation !LOLZ
Looking forward to your return.
Blessings.
